The 225 effectively replaced the L / L1 and even L2 in some areas. Faster, smoother, better payload and with new avionic technology, it made the L Series commercially obsolete. Many Ls ended up in the secondary market like the German Border Guard. Vector bought some I think. Some were canniblised for spares as support was becoming expensive and difficult. Some even went to the scrapyard. There was a brief resurrection when the 225 was grounded first time.
