AIRCRAFT ENGINES
GREAT CARE TAKEN BY R.A.F. FAILURES ALMOST UNKNOWN. So great is the care taken b.y the R.A.F. ground staff in overhauling engines that engine failures are almost unknown.
This is the experience of one coastal command, which has had not a single accident because of engine failure in ihe hundreds of thousands of miles flown.
If a pilot reports any fault in thmachine, it is kept on the ground till the fault is found. Small and unimportant faults some times take day: to find, but this guarantee of everything being in perfect order gives a pilot the greatest faith in his machine. —By radio.
