Regarding a damaged engine
On several occation I have found my self in a battle damaged british aircraft over Calais and every time I tried to help it by lowering the strain on it, it seems to have shorted its life. Every time I just keept my fingers from the throttle and pitch I have been able to return to the mainland (England

)

Coincidence!? Don't know!
But I have recommended other EAF pilots from touching THR and Pitch if there where ever any doubt of killing the engine.
