I was just wondering, under what circumstances are flames visible (from the rear end of course) around the turbine blades, excluding turbine fires?

This video shows a centrifugal jet with visible flames: YouTube - Jet Engine Backyard - Episode 2

This photo shows flames in the turbine sections of an F414 powered Super Hornet (I think the engines are set to military thrust not minimum reheat):

Here is the link for a high res version of the photo: http://www.news.navy.mil/management/...-6106R-140.jpg

Thanks
