Anybody Remember a Canberra climbing over a TS?
I believe about the early sixties over Sudan. Engines suffered N over Root T Surge - (or so the Board of Enquiry speculated -or perhaps the crew were talking to somebody). Double flameout due to low IAS. Aircraft broke up as it plunged into TS.
I don't suppose modern bypass engines suffer N over Root T Surge.
Any relevance to the Air France accident?
The thought of this occurring to me frightened me for most of my 50 year flying career. The nearest I let myself get to any TS was looking at them from 10 miles away (at night). No Weather Radar in the ancient old aircraft I have flown.
Totally irrelevant I suppose but I keep getting messages from PPRUNE saying 'you haven't posted for a long time'
