Hotbirds 2 - 5 were identical craft operating at 13E. They had a wide beam and a superbeam which covered western Europe. All four have been withdrawn from 13E, given new missions elsewhere around the arc and renamed:

Hotbird 2 is now Eurobird 9 at 9E
Hotbird 3 is now Eurobird 4 at 4E
Hotbird 4 is now Atlantic Bird 4 at 7W
Hotbird 5 is now Eurobird 2 at 25.5E
