couple of things i can see on those pix - the inlet is on a stand just behind the engine, and the plane is still in the vicinity. there is another engine sitting on a cradle just behind. it *may* have been v podded, but it would be unusual to see the engine so close to the aircraft without the txport cowling if it had been. there is not much damage to the stators behind the fan, and even if it had have been strapped for flight, the damage to it happened way before then. surely someone must know where/how this happened
