Marham Accident

Jobza,
Thanks for the clarification re the Marham accident - I knew that, sadly, one of the crew had been killed. It is good to hear that something was done for the GR4, but given Dundiggin's clarification it sounds like there may be current "electrical" failures which will still let an engine accelerate to destruction - not a design feature that figures on most aeronautical engineering courses - glad it does not happen in the new all electric cars - or perhaps someone out there knows that it does!
