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