4Greens - # 25...
The Spey was ordered to provide jobs in the UK. The spams had been flying off carriers for years, using GE engines.
The carrier version of the Spey only differed from the RAF version in that it had a catalytic (e.g. faster light up) igniter in the re-heat system and some differences in the rigging.
