Andover XS596 "Open Skies"

Hi Folks

I wonder if anyone can confirm whether Andover XS569 is still operational within the Open Skies Treaty? I have done some searching which seems to suggest she is still aloft, but have found nothing conclusive.

My interest has come from acquiring an Automatic Direction Finder instrument complete with MoD serviceable tag, with XS569 in the A/C “removed from” box. A quick search of the number revealed the Open Skies Andover story which all of a sudden made this black box rather more interesting 😀

Cheers all

QinetiQ no longer do ‘Open Skies’ with XS596 or anything else for that matter.
I haven’t seen her out of the hangar recently but one of her two sisters was airborne last week.
