Snoopy to Be Put Down
One of the world's most distinctive aircraft, Snoopy, the famous
converted C-130 Hercules used on behalf of the UK Met Office,
will be replaced by a BAe146-300 under a partnership contract
won by BAE Systems. The contract, which will provide, on demand,
a fully instrumented aircraft for atmospheric research, is valued
at $44 milion to $67 million depending on aircraft utilization.
BAE's partner is UMIST- the University of Manchester Institute
