I was going to go RB199- I remember hearing that they would shed turbines more often than not.

Nearly right, but missed by a generation. It's the (remains of!) an RB211-524g engine. IIRC suffered a surge on take-off where the FAFC was scheduling more fuel to try to overcome the drop in P3 pressure.

open house!

OK. This is an air intake? Something of the Air Cobra, P51 Mustang size shape and build? Unless of course its one of those Rocket assisted take off packs from the Strato Bomber days?

It is an intake, but from neither of your suggestions.

A'rtnoon LM,

One from up my sleeve.....
That's odd, I'd have thought it might have been pinned to your Tie

First visit in a couple of days, I have been (and still am) heavily involved with business wallah's so can't stake a claim on this one, but my suggestion may help it along if it's what I think it is.

Catchya later and Graeme too I hope

'artnoon Mel.

You know me - no point in making life difficult.

The MB5 it is - your control.

Be gentle with us........
