200mph or all those G's is nothing for an opus. Go see what the DS boys do with them[X(]

Bad luck Ali, not the way you want to see a turbine go!

Thanks

Nope, that one is well and truly lost. I still can't get over how much faster it is that the P20 version, which seemed quick after the first year of Lambert power.

The technical term would probably be, "the engine separated itself from the jet."

I guess the engine mount should have been G-load tested too!
