N138SR (the former VH-EBB) was sighted at Port Harcourt, Nigeria on 16 April 2005. Although reported as "withdrawn from use", this probably just means that nobody has got around to scrapping it yet.

Added camera icons which are linked to relevant photographs. Photos have been added at an appropriate place in the chronology but it should be noted that the photo does not necessarily depict the event described in the chronology.
