In the mid nineties whilst working out of Escravos, Nigeria I recall that an F27 left the paved area with the port gear whilst turning off the runway. The wheel bogged down in the very wet earth. The pilots tried to power the aircraft out and seriously damaged an engine. The aircraft was later towed out and was stuck at Escravos for weeks before a replacement engine was sourced and fitted.
