G-ANWX at Cranfield awaiting engine work after diverting there following loss of engine power overhead Leighton Buzzard. The cause was a washer that should have been tabbed up, preventing nuts loosening that retained the valve gear. Unfortunately the engineer responsible hadn't tabbed them, with a result that the rockers became detached in flight. This was the 2nd time this had happened. After I sold G-ANWX, it was involved in an accident, and although rebuilt, had yet to fly again by 2014. (Lee Mullins)
