Interesting thread.
The first mesh guards fitted to the Gloster E28/39 (the first British jet - I have no records of the Heinkel He178 needing them!) were called 'Daunt Stoppers' after the test pilot Michael Daunt, a not insubstantial chap was the first person accidentally ingested. He survived with minimal damage to him and the (then) ultra-rare engine - don't recall why it was minimal damage.
After pulling off an emergency landing in one of the first Meteors in a potato field, the story goes that Daunt filed a patent with the Gloster team for the "Daunt Patent potato lifter-chipper-cooker"...
And another accident inspired a poem asking the chief designer to 'toughen up' the Gloster Meteor ending ...'So please make the Meteor a wee bit meatier still!'
Quite the character.
Cheers
