Thanks for all the inputs, the engine made it to it's destination ok
It was on an air transport stand and I had a number of components removed to keep it under the dimensions of an LD9 container.
Next one is a V2500 , with the large diameter of this engine plus the stand (it's 2.37metres high) it has to go on a wide body cargo , it's too big for the 727 and 737 cargo doors and we are still waiting on news whether we can use an AN-12 to do a short hop to Singapore so we can load it on a 747 cargo, although it SHOULD fit with about 7 centimetres to spare the operator is confirming whether it will fit over the hump at the end of the ramp.
If you ever get a chance to look at the V2500 with the cowls and thrust reversers off grab a coffee and sit back and look at it for a few minutes , it's a piece of mechanical art
