Actually, Kitaro Kid, the airplane you noticed was a -100 series, and the old registration was EX-, not LX-...
Could this be S/N 1201 seen at Istanbul - Sabiha Gokcen (SAW / LTFJ) in March 2007. It was re-registered EX-102 ; all white ; 2 red stripes no titles. The Aircraft was operating for Reem Air. 1201 was also seen in May 2007 stored at Ras al-Khaimah. This is the former 5X-AAL of Almidon Aviation.

However
AAL,
According to Lockheed's records, L-1011 s/n 1201 was "attrited" (scraped) sometime in second half of 2006. This may or may not be true as Lockheed records are only as good as the reporting by the owner/operators. However, the majority of the current L-1011 owner/operators do not have a good track record on reporting things like hours and cycles and aircraft status, to Lockheed.
Scrapped in 2nd half of 2006 and extant at Ras al-Khaimah in May 2007. The thick plottens somewhat
Your comments and observations much appreciated.
Be lucky
David
