A gas turbine engine stand (38) comprising an engine frame (48) and a base frame (46). The base frame (46) has a slide rail (51) to enable axial translation of the engine frame (48) relative to the base frame (46). A load transfer arrangement (54) engages with a part (50) of the engine frame (48) and slidingly engages with the slide rail (51). There is a locking mechanism (62) to lock the engine frame (48) to the base frame (46) to prevent relative axial translation. The gas turbine engine stand (38) is used, inter alia, for splitting a core engine (34) from a fan case (36).
