Also the fan is quite heavy (8-9 kilos) and spinning at c 10k rpm so thereโ€™s a shit ton of load on it!!! Would have been far better with a tapered shaft..

Itโ€™s a straight shaft with a shoulder so doesnโ€™t help - this is what I got wrong before - keeps working loose due to wear on the shaft which then wears the woodruff key. Have fixed it with Loctite 660 which is designed for this job - so far so good ๐Ÿคž if it goes again itโ€™ll be welded and remachined

I think by the time it came along Chieftain was already on its way out, and there wasnโ€™t felt to be much need for short range air defence, NATO having unparalleled air superiority and all that ๐Ÿค”

Prior to the internet coming along the Sun was the best selling newspaper for decades, and all it did was pander to working class bigots - there is an odd thing out there where people think if we just listen to racists they magically wonโ€™t be racists anymore
