Very little pitch asymmetry on one donk but the common intake was a safety weakness - multiple birdstrikes and FOD tended to get both engines at once and on one occasion the radome and waveguides were digested by both.

However, axial flow Avons seemed to cope admirably with this diet and I have no doubt vulcanic ash would have been equally acceptable!
