8846,
OnB has been around here a bit longer than you... give him some slack
From the newspaper article:
"It is believed the plane's engines ingested the bees while flying over Bournemouth but this did not cause problems until later into the flight."
About an hour later, it seems.
What baffles me, seriously, is how they established any kind of "cause and effect" relationship between the two events.
An engine surge or flame-out at the moment of the encounter I could have believed. But a few remaining bee carcasses causing an engine surge an hour later? Pull the other one, it's got bells on.
