Boscombe Down Islander

Hi

Does anyone know if the Islander at Boscombe is going to be a long term fixture or just a visitor?

Black one with a motif on the tail which I could not quite see, been there for over a week so may be working with ETPS. I think it could be a factory owned aircraft. Left this afternoon and not returned.
