As A pilot I understood the Roots blower on the viscount was the same as the F27 . It was magnesium alloy. On the f27-200 the shaft was a light quill shaft designed to shear if the bearing picked up and yes we had the red light, but it would have been burning then. Im not aware of any f27 having a problem.
