Twenty years ago I purchased a SONY video machine. I used it for Plant security. Video and Audio for six hours, it cost one thousand dollars.
CAAAD
No "Link" is implied. The AD's stand alone. The Bearing Case was noted as having Lubrication problems. These problems involved "Clogged Restrictor Vanes". Scavenge problems were identified, to include "coking" and Carbon deposition. One year in effect, the AD was relaxed by modification. QF32 has explosive disintegration, uncontained. Uncontained explosion said to be the result of Oil Fire. Oil in the bearing cavity fed this fire. From Pictures, the IPT exploded with such force it suffered Drive arm collapse and fold back onto the aft face of the IPT. The Aft face was peppered with molten metal. Picture of "Oil Tube" is released, drawing hyperfocus from a curious World. RR was done in by duff part alone, AD's take back seat, 'One-Off' is suggested. All is well then? Yes, What have we learned, Class?
