Information from airhistory.net - thanks to Alastair T. Gardiner and Freek Blokzijl:

This DC-10 was delivered to Martinair in December 1976. It had two separate lease periods with Garuda and one with Philippine Airlines and it did operate in April 1985 with small Air Seychelles titles. The plane had the honour of operating the last ever Martinair DC-10 flight and was withdrawn from the fleet in January 1995. It was converted to a tanker at Amsterdam (AMS) and joined the Royal Netherlands Air Force as T-235 in February 1995. In June 2021 delivered to Omega Airtankers as N235UL and ferried to Victorville for storage.
