You'll be pleased to know that the former meteorological research Hercules, better known as "Snoopy", flew again today with the TP400 engine for the Airbus A400M on the port inboard mount.

Cool..... 48 1/2 more hours left till the A400M can fly with the new motor.

Aye, which dates them as pre 2005!

Modified? There always was the OpenSkies one (596), but others (presumably 606/646)?

The only picture I've seen is of 646 and it has a strange looking nose....

I didn't even think the Andovers were still flying....
