I believe it was affectionately known as 'Snoopy'.

'Snoopy' was demodified into a C-130H-30 for the Dutch Air Force. UKMET partnered with NERC (Natural Environment Research Council) to purchase and modify a BAe-146-301 (G-LUXE) for atmospheric research, but according to the pages on the aircraft, I doubt it's anywhere near as capable as the Hercules W.2 was.

That Orion Looks V Nice.

In regards to snoopy, didn't they also have a Canberra for this sort of thing?

I believe Snoopy is currently at Marshalls, it left Boscombe a while back, was rather sad to see her do her final low pass!

Long live her, and her chicken!
