Shortly after the BA712 accident BOAC had another RR Conway "let go" this time it was during a maintenance ground run, the engineers had to make adjustments to an outbd engine and so had to run the engine on the other side to balance.

It must have been a bit of a shock when the "good" engine LP Turbine exploded! fortunatly no one was hurt and the aircraft had a new outer wing section grafted on.
