Exhaust Vent shot. I had big hopes for this engine
and was gutted when I saw the damage inside. Time to
look out for another (working) or similar GTS/ APU I
suppose. Oh the grief.

Close up of the
damage to the Free Running Turbine Exhaust Port. It seems
from this picture that all the support guides have been
totally wiped out. Lots of sharp pieces of metal!

|
| The Gearbox Turbine
or what's left of it. Four blades have been taken of and
all the others are badly damaged. It must have made one
hell of a bang when this happened. I guess someone tried
to run the engine in start mode with nothing to absorb
the 80 plus Horse power. Oh Dear.

|
The guide vanes
that direct the gas generator gases on to the gearbox
turbine, all damaged. Amasing really that this isn't in
a lot of pieces itself. Poor Thing. |

| What you see
with the final drive removed from the gearbox casing.
Lots of swarf. Happy Days.

The Reverend Simon Green with a look of shock at the
destruction caused to the gearbox cover. Or I suppose
maybe he just likes the taste of his finger. Better
not go there.

Secondary Reduction
Gear Unit. Ready for the scrap man. I can see him rubbing
his hands now.

This is how far
I got with the removal of the primary gearbox assembley
I've seen enough now, going for a little cry..
