| Hi All, This is the first of a series of questions that I am putting out for the South Australian Aviation Museum. The museum has in it's collection an Allison T56-A-9 engine that has been the target in some sort of of trials work. The damage seems to be a combination of light calbibre fire and possibly laser or other cutting equioment. Can anyone shed any light? |

| Looks more like battle damage, or something to look as such. Then no doubt used to train the techo's on inspections and also repairs etc. |

| This engine was one of two, along with a various collection of airframe parts that were used to determine damage caused by a Missile warhead. One of the museum members was part of this exercise. The white painted damage is from the first detonation, the unpainted from the second. |
