Parked up with engines removed at Orlando-Sanford is one of the very early build 757-200s. delivered new to Air 2000 as G-OOOD in May of 1988, it spent many Winters in Canada with Canada 3000, Royal Airlines and Skyservice. Having been stored here at SFB since August of 2022, it seems like this is the end of the road for this 757.

This 757 was transferred from Air 2000 to its Canadian subsidiary Canada 3000 for four successive winters, beginning in November 1988, returning to the UK for each summer season. For the summer of 1990, it was leased back to Air 2000 with their titles but operated by Canada 3000, retaining its Canadian registration.
