The other OEMs demonstrated theycould achieve 30 mins and in the case of the 225, EC also provided an emergency cooling system (note lube) rather than play the paperwork fudging game SAC did.

SAC claimed lube loss was extremly remote. Wrong. Not only did it happen in Australia, it happened 6 months later before they could even fix that problem.

Any one like to stake their life that there are no other ways to lose oil from the MGB?

Oh yes every S-92 pilot and passenger is doing that every day! But that's not really the tag line for an SAC advert is it!

Lets just hope they have assessed the mount cracking right.
