Interesting discussion on the VTS forum regarding a possible birdstrike on take-off last Friday. Looks like there's no indication of such, fortunately, but a post on page 3, by someone calling himself 'Sad Sam' ('Proud and honoured to be the last Vulcan rigger'?! WTF!) explaining engine surges. God help them if that's the level of engineering staff. One can only hope that their 'proud and honoured to be the last Vulcan sootie' chap is more knowledgable!!!
Sam was explaining the term “Engine Surge” because a previous poster had used the term in an “Anorak’s” untrained explanation of an engine problem that had been encountered some years earlier at the airfield…So come on, what was wrong with his explanation then??
So that we may learn from a master, give us the benefit of your vast expirence.
..I personally really would like to know??
