Maybe it's just me, but I could have sworn that the Osprey issue appears to be running vertical nacelles for 10 minutes (ie 600 seconds) on thinner decked amphibs (despite the photo of the heat shield being on an LHA).

Cue immediate shouts of "if only it was a Harrier everything would be OK" somewhat missing the point that when a SHAR recovers, you've got jet blast in close proximity over the deck for about 10 seconds - 1/60 of the time for the problem with V22. Last time I looked no-one ever runs Harriers with nozzles down when on any sort of alert anyway, let alone +30 when you're not even manned up!
