Sadly enough, he got nothing but criticism from the company for proceeding to Derby
SOP, as Keith Hants found when he failed to follow company instructions when the #3 engine dropped out of its bearers on a DC-6. Company ordered him to land, but he went over Port Phillip bay and pulled "g" until the engine fell into the water. His concern was that the engine would drop out on landing and remove the undercarriage, with perhaps dire consequences. Memory of story as told by Keith personally.
