Wombat, sorry about that, I maybe shouldn't have worded it that way. What I should have said was that it was incredibly hard for them to control airspeed. I was lead to believe that they may not have been able to trim the aircraft, in which case the aircraft would tend to fly at the speed it was trimmed out for when the engine blew. I believe it was a miracle the crew managed to get the aircraft down, sheer brilliance on their part.
