I remember seeing somebody's 747 coming off the Biggin stack with a spare donk inboard of No2, wasn't BA. Only time I recall seeing a spare being ferried.
Drone option?
I saw a 'spare' from closer quarters.
On the way to Mauritius (BA; stopped at Nairobi and Seychelles outbound and on the return, Rome too) , we stopped at Nairobi and when it came to departure one engine wouldn't start so they stuck us in a hotel and ferried another engine in from South Africa and next time we tried departing we had the dead spare hanging on to us.
