Ash gets into the engine internal air system, blocks the cooling supply to the disc, the disc heats up and then fails????? Maybe????

In only one engine out of four?

Seems unlikely to me. All 4 engines would have been exposed to the same conditions and, if those conditions were severe enough to cause a catastrophic failure of one engine, one could reasonably expect the other 3 to have also been affected to a greater or lesser degree.

gray area, if you say so. a response to a flamer not to pollute a thread is removed as ‘personal attack’ while the flame remains as it is. some unbiased moderation this !

It was left in place so that Scooter could see his mistake and didn’t have to rely on my word alone.

Scooter has now apologised to you – kudos to you for that, Scooter – so I have removed it and all is now well with the world.

So there! :p

Yes, and much of it is off-topic.

Ah, my mistake. For some reason I was imagining he was British, & the use of Americanisms by Britons on a British forum gets up my nose. I’ll remove the post.

Fair enough.

I’ll do likewise. 🙂

If they’re having a go at me, Paul, they’re leaving some other poor beggar alone…. 🙂
