Who gives a stuff about all the nonsense being proffered regarding numbers on board. This has nothing to do with what caused the engine to fail. I'm more interested in what caused that. Or maybe the child was fiddling with the mixture control when daddy wasn't looking..?
I think what happened was whilst refueling, his wife was filling the baby bottle upwind. Clearly some of the powdered baby formula has been blown into the fuel tank and subsequently blocked the fuel filter. Sputter sputter..
