    Better for this to happen during trials than after delivery. Must be a couple of engineers checking things over very, very carefully. :)

    Hi,

    This story just goes on and on!

    I heard through a reliable source that the engines were an Owners Supply item.

    When they showed that there was serious fault during the first set of sea trials a couple of years ago ( blade tips striking the case) they had to be removed and returned to the manufacturer for refurb.

    All at cost to the Owner.
