IIRC a pickled engine was put in this aircraft , without being completely stripped down ...comment made by an engineer that it would only be a matter of time before it quit in flight ..unfortunately that is what happened. No doubt Peter A has the details..along with her status now ....severly damaged but rebuildable I believe ;-0
