Re Derwent failures.

Mid 50's and the AOC was enroute to one of his bases when he suffered an engine failure.
Continued and landed without any drama.

The Fighter Command monthy accident summary, sometimes a weighty document in those days, contained the technical details of why it failed.

The only comment from the FSO at the end was "We wonder that it dared !".
