BA38s engines "Hesitated"

Dear lomapaeso,

It was indeed: "Icing condition" during the last 10 minutes of BA38s career.

Ground temperature was +11 degrees C. and its RR engines flew in and out of broken clouds.

Boeings definition of "Icing condition":

Anytime the OAT (temperature) is below +10 degrees C. in moist air (dew point within 3 degrees C.)

And the higher the temperature, the more severe is the icing condition, due to the higher cloud water contend.
