The BAe 146M? It did sell - the RAF have two at Kandahar.
It didn't - and they're not.

The whole procedure takes about ten mins, half that with an extra rig, concurrent with crew boarding checks and start up. There's simply no need for the continuous deice pantomime you describe.
10 min is too long for many scramble situations. Have you ever been on QRA?
