Dash 8 in Salisbury Plain

I was scanning the airwaves today and was listening to Solent. They were working an aircraft (Dash 8?) that inadvertently penetrated Salisbury Plain. Anyone know anymore?

Not specifically, but there was a lot of weather avoidance going on in this part of the World this morning.

Heard one SOU inbound divert to BRS after failing to find a way through a line of Cb's to the North of the field.

Not so funny mate, as I believe there was some form of living firing exercise going on. Could hear it from miles away apparently.
