Grab a straw and suck it back up. Hope Oz is sunnier today? Are you staying in the city?

It's peeing down again. Yesterday evening wasn't too bad - met Aussielong for a beer or three and sat outside - although jackets were required. Staying in Paddington, or Paddo as the locals call it - about 3 miles from the centre. Apparently the forecast for the next few weeks is tulipe.

Bummer about the weather, but probably still much nicer than here. I think I stayed in Victoria for a bit, which was a bit of a dive.

Although the media always get hysterical about anything to do with aviation incidents, an engine shutdown in flight is a relatively predictable incident to deal with. However, an uncontained engine failure is of more concern as normally engine casings are designed to contain the moving parts in the event of a catastrophic failure of the turbine to stop them penetrating the cabin and wings (some should pass through the engine exhaust outlet).

Interesting.

Interesting indeed.

If the damage is the result of a high energy debris thank goodness it exited air side.

Unlikely to be a compressor failure that would have damaged the nacelle and not the cowl. This is a turbine failure of some kind.
