Saturday RFA Argus!
Very lucky they did not up in the drink.
Apparently pilot error.
Tried taking off on one engine with other in idle I'm being told.
Nothing like a real life incident to put that training to the test!

Apparently from what I was told, during takeoff one engine on idle.
Then overcorrected.
AAIB on board now.
Here is another angle.
But you know what dits are like in the RN, I'm sure it will all come out!
