Hmm, I seem to remember a number of rear turbine bearing failures on the -200s, some of which resulted in total loss of the aircraft due to damage from the subsequent uncontained turbine disk failures. The Vulcan's achilles heel in fact.



Wasn't this in the aircraft fitted with the 300series engines not the 200??
