Water pump at Farnborough
Hello John,
For the sake of accuracy for readers here, I suspect you were being polite about ' not recalling which aircraft ' the pump failed on; Dad now thinks it was G-VTOL, while I've always been sure it was the FRS51 he related the tale about...
Either way, seeing the water pump light go out / red whatever it did, and feel a loss of a bit of power, was probably not what you'd have wished for at that moment !
The pump was replaced ( into a Harrier of some form, at least that's pretty certain ) and the aircraft fine for the next day, quite an ad' for the aircraft really, let alone pilot, but I doubt the happening was exactly broadcast.
Apologies for any confusion to others.
DZ
