Heard a so-called expert on Radio 4 just now, from (I think) the Institute of Mechanical Engineers, saying he had a picture of the engine in front of him, and thought it was just a "parts problem". He went on to opine that the problem was related to the exterior of the engine, and that the core of the engine was intact.

Clearly he hasn't seen the picture of the large lump of turbine disc sitting in the back of a truck a rather long way from the core of the engine.

I despair.
