The Royal Navy web site tells us that "The RNR no longer controls its own ships but many opportunities exist to go to sea with the RN once you are fully trained." However, the web site still has a massive Royal Naval Reserve page and tells you how to join it. I take it that the RNR used to exist as a separate entity with its own fleet, but that its duties have now been absorbed into the Royal Navy. Even the Royal Naval Reserve web site shows the White Ensign and not the Blue Ensign. Indeed, this from Mr. Faul:

"The plain Blue Ensign is no longer the flag of the Royal Naval Reserve, nor of ships where a certain proportion of the crew belong to the Royal Fleet Auxiliaries (which replaced the RNR). In that sense it would not be flown by the Titanic, were that ship to sail today.

It is still in use by several yacht clubs (e.g. the Royal Southampton Yacht Club). These clubs have the right to wear the Blue Ensign if it has been warranted to them by the Admiralty. In the case of government departments, the Blue Ensign is used with a badge in the outer half to indicate the particular department. Two examples are the Thames River Police and the Customs and Excise Department, each of which uses the Blue Ensign on its vessels, with its identifying badge in the outer half."
