Devil Trying to locate some vanished aircraft?

Does anybody know currently where the following aircraft are operating and if there still flying either? photo's would be great in there new role not old as i have many!

Air Atlanta (Travel City Direct) B747-300 TF-AME (c/n 23032/603)

Air Atlanta (Europe) B747-200 TF-ABA (c/n 22530/531)

XL Airways B767-200 G-BOPB (c/n 24239/243)

Like i said i have photo's of them in the former colours and glory just wondering if anyone knows where they went from there previous roles? i believe TF-AME went on to be a freighter not 100% though, i look forward to anyones input, i have tried but keep hitting a brick wall!

How recent do you want the information to be? A quick Google search revealed pics of TF-AME in 2007..

Have you tried Air Britain?

Remember 'BOPB' when it was at BY.

It had a temp white nose cone for a while 1990's - So I nicknamed it 'G-BOPED' Lol!!

It should have had a 'Red Nose' Lol!!

TF-AME is operating for Saudi Arabian Airlines - possibly in their colours too.

TF-ABA may have been scrapped by now.

TF-AME is still active and was delivered to Air Atlanta Icelandic on 16/11/07 and is still active with the same reg.

TF-ABA is now stored at Sharjah and was stored on Oct 2005.

G-BOPB was delivered to Jordan Aviation on 07/11/08 and is now using the reg JY-JAL

Hope this helps
