Snoopy went back to Marshalls and was used as the test airframe for the Airbus A400 engine:



Sadly the airframe is now being broken up. I believe the wings are being sold to one of the European herc operators. A pity really, such a unique aircraft should have gone to a museum.



PS. Yes Snoopy was an ex 48 Sqn 'frame.
