Aaah the days of intake checks on the Lightning ! Squeeze past the bullet (Radar bit ) and have a look see. Fat gits forget it !! I remember that we did all sorts of checks to determine how the motors were damaged by FOD. We did conclude that it was not the motor that was sucking the stuff up, by putting a layer of poly pellets in front of the intake and going to max power. Did not suck a thing!
Finally discover that by taxiing a little further apart solved the problem. The stuff thrown up by the first guy had settled by the time the second came through. Job done!
