Considering a 747 has been fairied on one engine

I doubt that very seriously. You probably meant to say "with one
engine inop". BTW, it's called "ferried", past tense of "ferry".

Doubt it all you like. Your doubt won't change the fact that it occurred.
The
aircraft was grounded at some eastern Europe airport with three dead
engines
and it turned out to be feasible and cheaper to fly the plane to
maintenance
rather than bring the maintenance to the plane. I believe it was written
up
in Flying magazine.



Seems unlikely that a 747 could even take off on one engine. Maybe if the
runway was 10 miles long.
