I heard it in the pub, and the pub was probably where the story began, but.......
Is there any truth in the story that, as 30,000 Lb thrust (or so) engines became available, Lufthansa investigated the possibility of re-engining their B727s with 2 X 30000 Lb engines with a totally new (Boeing built) Section 48 to match the entire assembly?
Or was it just another pub story?
