Information from flickr - thanks to heathrow junkie (slightly adapted):

c/n 46970 - McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10 was delivered new to Laker Airways as G-GFAL 'Northern Belle' in February 1979, supplementing the original fleet of four DC-10s that the airline operated in the 1970s. When the airline ceased operations in 1982, the aircraft went to British Caledonian as G-BJZD, then British Caledonian Charter, BCA Charter, Cal Air and Novair. Sold back to the USA in 1995 as N581LF, the aircraft was then converted to a MD-10-10(F) freighter for Federal Express and re-registered N10060. The aircraft was wfu on 24 January 2021 after 42 years of service and stored at VCV from 25 January 2021.
