The Marine, Industrial engine connection is of no relevance, in the same way that a Meteor isn't relevant to a Merlin when it comes to flying.
Ok thanks for that. I assumed that since the industrial power generation Olympus which is 201 core and is still overhauled must mean the tooling and spares do exist as the engine is very similar, wishful thinking I guess.
