Substantial Damage to No 1 engine on take off run from East Midlands Airport, Castle Donington, Leicestershire. According to the following excerpt from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The crew reported a loud grinding sound immediately followed by illumination of the 'engine failure' light. They aborted the takeoff at approximately 30 kt and as the thrust levers were closed the commander was aware of resistance within the No 1 thrust lever system. Subsequent examination revealed significant fire damage centred around the underside of No 1 engine, evidence of penetration from inside the engine casing and a fracture of a second stage low pressure (LP) compressor fan blade at the root attachment. There was no evidence of cowl penetration."
