Read a story once about a P3 (I believe NZ was the first to buy them outside of the US) that was doing its' usual 3 engine endurance cruise but when it came time to fire up the resting one, it wouldn't turn. Story went on to say that when it landed back at base the ice accumulation in the turbine was still melting.
Can anyone confirm this story? Believe it was sortied over the cold wet North Atlantic but may be wrong about that. Good story if it's true.
