At the time this strikingly painted DC-3 was operated by owner Air Atlantique for Thales Avionics Ltd, serving as a testbed for the Searchwater 2000 MR radar for the Nimrod 2000 project. It was withdrawn from use on 19 Oct 2010 and the big radome was removed in early 2012. The aircraft became part of Mike Collett's Airbase Museum and it was still at Coventry by April 2018.
