The Australian article says the Rex aircraft was 26 years old - am I correct in saying the part that failed could have been only, say 10 years old - engines hours, or age surely can be vastly different to airframe hours or age. If a new engine fails on an older airframe and an accident ensures, the airframes age surely can't be the cause of the accident?
