Last (?) MD-83 in Europe

The spotter in me wants to bag a ride on an MD-83 before they finally disappear from Europe for good. The only ones I can find which are in normal commercial scheduled passenger use is a single MD-83 operated by Meridiana on routes between Olbia in Sardinia and the Italian mainland and some Norwegian flights currently outsourced to Danish Air Transport to/from Copenhagen

Does anyone know of other MD-83s still in regular use in Europe ?
Furthermore, does anyone know how long Meridiana intend to keep the MD-83 going, or whether it's likely to face the chop at the end of the summer season next month, particularly with the Qatar Airways takeover ?
