It's ex-AP-AXC, the very first DC-10-30 of PIA. Last seen in service with Cielos del Peru Cargo (Gemini Air Cargo).

Here's link to its most recent photo taken on May 22, 2007 at Miami Airport.

I think that 1 and maybe 2 ex-PIA DC-10s that were swapped with CP Air were sold to Biman by Canadian Airlines (CP's successor) in the late 90s. Don't know if they are still in service, even though I believe Biman Bangladesh is still operating its DC-10s.

The Canadian DC-10s that went to Biman were not ex-PIA machines.

Here's what happened to five DC-10-30s operated by PIA.

AP-AXC - in service with Cielos del Peru Cargo.

AP-AXD - last seen in state of dereliction in Mohave, USA. Continental Airlines was the last known operator of this aircraft.

AP-AXE - destroyed in hangar fire at Karachi Airport in 1981.

AP-AYM - last seen in state of dereliction in Miami in 2007. Last known operator was Centurion Air Cargo in 2006.

AP-BBL - scrapped in 2004 at Marana - Pinal Airpark, USA. Canadian Airlines was the last operator of this aircraft.

Thank you Sir for clearing that up.
I remember that Canadian did sell some DC-10s to Biman, but perhaps from a different batch.
