.Presumably the fault might have had far more serious consequences if it had occurred after take-off.
Was it the same engines that's had been recently overhauled?
Quote from the FB page...."Engine management has received some deep thought. We have decided not to change the installed engines for those in store quite yet, partly to save money but also because flying with known-engines improves our safety case during conversations with the CAA that we hope will lead to permission to fly over London for a couple of very special events. We are putting the money saved towards a project that could keep her flying for longer. If you would like to support this, we will be delighted to recognise your contribution with a certificate and by placing your name on the bomb-bay plaque. More details here. Thank you."
