Sounds like a load of S**te to me!!!

As anyone with even a basic knowledge of how a jet engine works will tell you that even a big roaring fire in your jet pipe will not keep the fire burning in a combustion chamber, ESPECIALLY if the engine has flamed out due to fuel starvation.

And quite how you think a flame would backtrack through two turbine stages and relight the engine with tons of pressurised air from a windmilling engine blowing in the opposite direction, is a mystery to me!
