The Olympus 593 was a tough old mincing machine. A Concorde blew a tyre on t/o from Heathrow but all seemed well so they continued to NY. On landing it was obvious from the state of the leading compressor blades that most of it had gone through one of the engines - with no subsequent vibrations, loss of performance, or adverse instrument readings.
