Succinctly put....and accurate as was the post that preceded yours.

A stand was as much a hindrance as a help to be frank. The Spey was designed by Rolls with the blissful illusion all maintenance would be carried out in a warm well lit bay in Derby. I know a few people who were involved with the development and testing of the heap of junk, one in particular with the above mentioned unit, and as he diplomatically concedes, RR couldn't be entirely to blame for supplier's design, ahem, "concept ".
