I've been following this interesting discussion from the beginning on both threads, and other than dropping in the odd graphic have just watched the flow and ebb. However, when looking at a pic taken after the #2 had been demounted and lashed to the trolley, I noted a stray pipe with a rather distressed look to what is now an open end. What would have been carried in this line? I assume this damage was caused by the disc burst.
Somebody on here may know for sure, but it looks like a structural member to go between the mount points on the engine. Wasp waist engines have a tendancy to distort their cases and rub compressor blade tips without this kind of load carry device.
