Yes, the fuselage, wings, etc of FAW have been sold.
   
 The "spare" tug engine however has been retained by the Club to enable us to continue with the existing practice of having one engine being refurbished in a well planned and cost efficient manner while the other is in use in SPA
     
   This practice is aimed at (a) minimising the time that we will have SPA out of service at any time, and (b) minimising the significant refurbishment costs.
