I can not personally recall a triple reheat fail ever happening, as Bellerophon explained in his answer to your post, but I can recall one occasion several years ago where the 15 minute time limit was inadvertantly exceeded for a couple of minutes. This was reported to both Rolls Royce and SNECMA, but no checks etc were instigated. The reheat ignition system, as I posted previously, was far too fragile; we did some investigations with Rolls Royce about 15 years ago into using 'hot streak' injection as a backup ignition source, but this was ruled out on cost grounds.
