Without wanting to join the apparently-ill-tempered part of the thread, could/would someone answer an idly-curious question please?

I was operating along the ridge above Portsmouth about 6 weeks ago, monitoring Fleetlands as I left Solent's area, when I saw what appeared to my tired old eyes a Mk3a going into whatever they call the RNAY these days. No squawk observed; the nice person at Fleetlands said they transit on one radio only, no avionics. As mentioned above, I'm only being inquisitive - what are the ex-RAF SKs being used or flown for?
