Said aircraft was G-DPSP operating the MYT257 MAN-ACE. Problem was something to do with the throttles. Was on my way out the door when it happened so didn't get the full story. Pax flew the following day on G-TDTW.

No2 engine ingested something it shouldn't have whilst on a training flight. Lining from the engine intake if I remember correctly. Its had an engine change and thrust reverser repairs but should be back in service today(13th)
