Pegasus engines and keeping patrol aircraft serviceable

An established engine type offered practical support advantages for aircraft operating around the Mediterranean.

Notes

Wellingtons, Sunderlands, and Swordfish are used as examples of aircraft associated with the Pegasus engine. Its maintainability is linked to long experience with the type and the large numbers available. Familiar equipment and common parts made the task of keeping aircraft flying more manageable.
