Unmarked 747 at Newcastle Intl - any info ?

A question based on pure curiosity !

I've seen an all white, totally unmarked 747 (400 ?) at Newcastle Intl over the last few weeks. Too far away to get the registration, but definately no markings on the vertical stab. or side. Judging from the takeoff roll - she was also very lightly loaded.

Does anyone know what she's doing there ? Awaiting re-paint ? cargo carrier not concerned with promoting their business ? Private ?

Any info appreciated !

cheers
