Does "Nil hours" in the photo mean it was never used?
- hcrisp 3y agoArticle says the plane it came from flew 16,239 hours so I'm guessing the photo was from initial certification if it was actually used. Now that the plane is in Seattle and the engine is in the UK, does that mean it was shipped back after the plane landed? What is on display in a Seattle, dummy engines? So many questions.
- mgdlbp 3y agoThe parts of the logbook shown in the listing seem to imply that this engine was removed in the 1980s when the plane was still registered as G-BFKW. As for the plane, engines 3 and 4 are visible in a 2010 photo.¹ By 2015 the ducts had all been covered.², albeit № 3 haphazardly in the rear.³ ¹ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Concorde_(British_AW),_Seattle_(5006028875).jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Concorde_(British_AW... ² https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Concorde_2015-06_673.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Concorde_2015-06_673... ³ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Concorde_2015-06_692.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Concorde_2015-06_692...
- cjrp 3y agoThe logbook says "at commencement" (i.e. at the time this logbook starts from, the engine has 0 hours). It's because there might be multiple logbooks for an engine, so if you reached the end of logbook1 and it had 5000 hours accounted for, logbook2 would say 5000 hours at commencement.
