It has some kind of red cover or plug inside its engine. What is it? Is this something that was normal to put into the engine? I remember seeing red inside the nacelle of the only Caravelle I ever spotted, likely of Air Provence also, at the same airport four years before.
This Caravelle is a SE-212, (Caravelle XII), F-GCVM.
Msn 270. Only 12 a/c of this type were built. This one was initially operated by Sterling Airways, in July 1983. Later sold to Air Inter.
Air Inter sold it to Air Provence in March 1991.

The placing of such covers is SOP for many Soviet-made airliners.. All the IL-96s, Tu-154s, Tu134s at SVO always have them on when parked on the apron.

It's an engine cover, something that is used on any A/C from a cessna to a 744 that is going to be sitting outside for any long period of time, nothing special.
