Genghis! Not even as reliable as that???????
6 engine failures per 1000 hr would be about one per 85 hrs in a (twin engined) Jaguar.
This can't be right, one on 80,000 is more like it for civvy ops, are we saying that military engine reliability is ONE THOUSAND times worse than that???
What of the Hawk, also Adour powered? This failure rate would imply a minimum of several failures per year in front of the cameras for the Red Arrows which we know is not the case, not to mention scores of lost Hawks from the training squadrons.
Whats up?
