Info on OB-2059-P DC-8-73 at Ostend

Does anybody have additional info on the DC-8-73 currently parked at Ostend with registration OB-2059-P, operated or owned by Peruvian Airlines and leased to Transpacific Heavylift ?

OB-2059-P was flown to Ostend, Belgium on October 16th using Peruvian Airlines call sign. It made one Ebola relief flight to West Africa on October 17th returning to Ostend the same day. It has not operated any flights since.

Supposedly Heavylift is now trying to lease another DC-8-72 freighter, N721CX (cn 46013), from SkyBus Jet Cargo (Las Vegas McCarran).

Has OB-2059-P been grounded perhaps by the Belgium authorities or is it simply waiting for future work ?
