Fan recovery pax recovery!

Landing at Goose was perfect. With a full-blown emergency its called land ASAP in Airbus terms.
AirFrance has looked at this in detail before opening this route.

The way it was handled on the ground was quite elegant.
The diversion perfect.

Now for something more interesting!
Is there any of you that know of the progress of finding the Fan and or the Fan assembly?

According Reuters they are flying in a new engine and ferrying on 3 engines.
A bit odd, but then again I never did much A380 ferry flights.

Any locals have any pictures of were it is parked, is there a hangar big enough to get at least the front and the wing inside?
