Got to bite on that one. 6,000 hours F27. The Dart was a bloody good engine. Would take anything you threw at it. Ice? With that impeller at the front you could chuck ice cubes at it and it would just go on working. I believe the bird-strike trials involved frozen chickens. One engine RR got right from the beginning.
