## Discrepancy

DURING CRUISE FLIGHT, THE CREW HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER ON THE RIGHT HAND ENGINE.  THE ENGINE WAS FEATHERED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS DIVERTED TO THE NEAREST AIRPORT.  AFTER LANDING THE ENGINE WAS INSPECTED FOR ANY EXTERNAL DAMAGE OR OIL LEAKS NONE WERE FOUND.  OIL FILTER WAS REMOVED, METAL WAS FOUND SO FLIGHT WAS TERMINATED AND ENGINE ORDERED.
