Anybody know whether this beautiful but sadly neglected creature gets any maintenance at all? I’m still thinking there must be a bare minimum to enable towing- tyres, bearings? Or do they just hope for the best as it’s not deemed dangerous? Is there even a parking brake that needs to be definitely off for towing and maybe on when stopped- or do they just chock the wheels? I assume they must be confident it won’t move even in the occasional hurricane force winds.

Sorry probably very naive questions to anyone involved in commercial aircraft maintenance.
