900 odd hours two partial engine failures.

Fuel pump meaning the aircraft would only fly uphill for a limited period! Abbreviated circuit.

Cylinder head crack giving 3 cylinders over hostile terrain - kept it going until I reached Lossiemouth and declined to declare an emergency as it was Sunday lunchtime at an RAF airfield! But a couple of klicks of tarmac makes you confident!
