On Friday 26 March 2010, VIPs, RAF personnel, their families and a number of veterans attended an event at RAF Kinloss to mark the last days of the aircraft.
And over the last few days, MR2s have visited some of the air bases that have helped form the plane's history, such as the former RAF St Mawgan (now Newquay International Airport) and Guernsey, to mark 201's Squadron's affiliation with the Island.
An intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance asset, the Nimrod MR2 Force has been tasked to perform a wide variety of roles in support of the UK's defence.
They have had the capability to conduct surveillance over land and sea, anti-submarine attack and search and rescue.
Attendees at the event had the opportunity to look round a Nimrod aircraft and tour some exhibitions covering the operational role of the MR2 over the last 31 years.
