Aren't Internet forums wonderful?
I posted a question yesterday about a set of purported pictures of ash damage:

These are the same pictures to which jonwilly referred earlier today. The answer appears to be no, no one knows where they came from.
Let me pose the same question again today: does anyone have a provenance?
I found it particularly amusing that two people, Pace and sabenaboy, suggested I was being gullible, presumably on the basis of what they read on other anonymous forums on the Internet. Folks, maybe it is time to look up the meaning of "gullible"?
From what I understand of the physics and chemistry of ash damage to engines (and it is not much, but it is more than many here seem to understand), it is quite possible for an engine to shed a blade or three if affected parts overheat and the engine isn't shut down. And what you then look at is a broke engine, much as these pictures show.
