tee-hee!

Nutloose

The Olympus failure at Patchway was rather more entertaining. Witnesses relate seeing the turbine climb out of its housing, across the floor, up the wall of the test cell, chewing chunks out of the toughened glass observation window, walk across the ceiling, down the opposite wall and back through the remains of the wrecked engine. Not sure which Olympus, possibly an early 593. Visitors to RRHT on Saturday mornings may get a chance to view that cell and see the scars.
