777-21H - MSN#30. But we will see if it is scrap or someone will take it and use it..... I can't see anyway picking up a heavily used and worn 777-200 non-ER anymore

If the statements on A.net are correct you are right it goes to scrap.
Only interesting is why it was painted white ? There are some explanation, but....

When an aircraft is being parked or scrapped most airlines will remove their logos and titles (like the photo below) most likely for PR (so that people don't mistake a parked plane for being neglected or a scrapped aircraft as a crash).

It seems like non-US airlines are more eager to remove as many recognizeable marking as possible, while the US ones seems to parked them more fully painted
Although it is hard to not recognize an ex-KLM aircraft no matter how many markings that are remmmoved as the blue paint stands out

...so that people don't mistake a parked plane for being neglected or a scrapped aircraft as a crash. Exactly! And this is the age of the internet - anything on it will be considered true.

OK they still have the 777-200ER 6pcs + 777-200LR 10pcs - they had only 3 pcs of 777-200 so all three are off - all were from 1996 - MSNs 30,33,42
