Yes the old thread drift!
It will be interesting to find out the cause (more the science behind the cause) of this engine wear - but that may not happen.
Bend a lot,
My apologies for more thread drift --- I should have made it clearer, the CASA "serious concern" was guns fixed to the airframe, remotely fired by the pilot, hence my reference to "gunships".
Tootle pip!!
PS: Many, many years ago, there was an attempt to fire a Bren gun from the front seat of a Tiger Moth, the "target" was a very big eagle that had been savaging new born lambs around Gunnedah. The eagle was quite safe, which is more than could be said for the LH aileron at the first and only attempt.
