Funnily enough a couple of days ago I was talking to Tony's co-pilot who was on that marathon trip, and he remembers pitching in and helping with the engine change.
There is a great one later on in the 'Standardisation' section, entitled 'botulism'. The Victor had a massive birdstrike during a night takeoff at Leuchars and after a 3 hour sortie landed and they discovered there were bits of over 100 gulls on the aircraft, including in the undercarriage bays and the engines. They had been totally unaware that they had had a birdstrike up to that point, and the engines had turned without a hiccup throughout the flight. I was only thinking about this the other day when I was watching "Sully" about the Airbus landing on the Hudson. Seemed like the Sapphire was much more forgiving of birdstrikes than whatever the A320 was fitted with.
