Great post Doug, and exactly my point on the finery of aerodynamic performance. Another attack on the LOX Convertor I reckon ! We also know that an Albert landed at Gander ? With a few tons of ice on the radome, I believe there was an Air Clues article on that one? I hope no one thinks I'm trying to put the aircraft down, I only volunteered to be a GE knowing the "robustness" of the airframe and the power of the mighty Allison. Sounds like your hit atwixt engines would have resulted in popping the wing isolation valve, not a regular practice in my experience.
