Beverley
Sounds rather a tight fit Danny (your #11406), but have no idea if it was tried or not.
AncientAviator (#11411), the Centaurus was certainly not the Bev's most reliable piece of kit and arguably not suited to some of the work it was called on to perform; on the other hand am I not right in saying that it was originally produced for the Hawker Tempest/Fury, where it might be expect to be subjected to some pretty harsh useage i.e in combat situations?
Having said that, I don't recall in my fairly limited type experience ever having an out of course engine shut-down. True, there was a somewhat alarming episode involving contaminated fuel, but that was hardly the engine's fault; don't think I have previously posted this one up, but can do so unless someone can say they have already seen it here!
