That's right these (Class D) fires though uncommon cause maximum
damage. Temperatures exceed 4500 degrees °C and react violently when
attempts are made to extinguish
I saw the video footage of evacuation there was a lot of smoke about
aircraft so what ever was burning was more than a "minor" concern
Most certainly time to evacuate an aircraft quickly don't you think

Probably one of the better layman insights into the intruiging
workings of the propeller system on the Fokker Friendship.

Yes, very interesting. I didn't realise that the constant speed units
were so complex.
