I'm sure the old girl appreciates your sympathy. I do compensate by giving her the very gentlest of treatment the other 1095 days of the three years

The funny thing is that cylinders do crack on the left engine, I think that it is four now, but it does seem to be a matter of age not treatment. Both engines are well into extension, or possibly even on condition, I forget, and only the oldest pots get replaced, and only those on the left.

I wonder if maybe the left was shock cooled once a long time ago and I am slowly paying the price. However this time round it was the right I shut down anyway.

As replacement lumps would probably exceed the value of the airframe I want to get the very longest out of them I can
