On the subject of engine maintennance , it is not widley discussed how much flak QF took over its Test Cell at Mascot . Not a day went by without someone whinging , so when it came to plans to build a new cell to accomodate the Trent 900 , well you can guess what the reaction was . The local council went into overdrive to ensure it could not be built . no test cell , no engine shop , so the CoE closed , or morphed into a hospital shop . The local member Mr A , led the charge against it . Yes ,Comrades the ALP did it again .
