Yep, I wrote down the trend check numbers that day as we were on the way out to Marlin platform and they were noticed to be suddenly awful compared with the previous check. Fortunately the engine kept going for another 1.2 hours and didn't blow up until the aircraft was safely on the ground back at Longford. I only saw two C30 failures in 3 years there: one a low-side governor, and this uncontained mechanical failure....
