This aircraft, well known before as a modified weather aircraft, was further modified by Marshall Aerospace as a test bed for the engines for the Airbus A-400M and as such it was rarely seen. An A400 engine and eight bladed prop is fitted to the port inbound position with the necessary wing strengthening struts clearly visible. It was later scrapped at Cambridge.
