Bottling Engines
When the Herc arrived the Old Guard from Hastings and Bevs OCU took on the training on the new beast. Who could forget Dolly Grey and Jack Huntingdon. The snag was that the Herc was a quantum leap in performance and the habit of "bottling an engine" on take off took some time to be abandoned. The loss of a piston engine didn't change the poor performance of the other 3 much but the Allison produced as much as a whole Lancaster bomber all by itself and if the matching outboard on the other side wasn't hauled back then the remaining 3 turbines would take you straight to the scene of the accident.
Years back a Hastings instructor of welsh descent Taff J*** once bottled an engine in flight at night and in the ensuing panic reactions of the pilots and flt eng, who all had engine instruments managed to shut down the remaining engines. In the resulting dark silence with the only sound being the wind soughing over the wings a purposeful welsh voice was heard to say " Now will everybody put everything back where they found it!"
