Air brakes still extended, this European Air Transport A300 lands at a cold, frosty Luton. This old lady first started life in September 1983 as F-GDVC. Her airline career began as N325EA with Eastern Airines and took her Continental as N14977 and then Carnival Airlines as N227KW. Her passenger carrying days ended in 1998 when she was WFU and stored at Marana. Thankfully she survived the breakers torch and after nearly a year in the Arizona sunshine was converted to a freighter. Her new lease of life began when she was registered to Schreiner Airways as PH-SFM in May 1999. Since then she has carried the registration EI-DHL and now carries parcels and packages across Europe with European Air Transport as OO-DIB.
