The engine failure is interesting. I seem to remember that there is a design requirement which prohibits the use of components which can be assembled incorrectly.

This particular fault must have been pretty well known considering the popularity of the engine type.

But the AAIB missed the target by settling for enhanced inspection, always the easy way out. Should have proposed a design change of the IGV and a design review of the whole engine for other similar mistakes.
