Road Runner on the M1

Yesterday as I was travelling south on the M1 near Docaster an Iberia B727 passed the other way on a low loader. It still had the registration on, I think it was EC-DDZ (but not too sure as I was doing 80 mph at the time) It was then mentioned on the traffic report on the radio, said it had a six mile queue behind it. Also said it was going to Robin Hood Airport, I assume it must be their fire trainer.

Is this the airframe which used to be parked on the runway at Oakley?

About 10 years ago I reckon that Iberia must have been flying at least 1 of each type of jet airliner ever built!! Must have been a logistical nightmare.
