I am told that an engine failure on take-off simply could not be contemplated.
Having experienced a 'mag drop' and aborted T/O half way along Marham's main runway, I can imagine the trepidation on the flight deck when carrying the said jeep's.

An aside to this, on returning to the dispersal the Flt Eng came down the back asking if we had any Engine Fitters that knew the Hercules, 'No Chief only the Avon,' was the stern reply!
