## Discrepancy

THE NR 3 ENGINE EXPERIENCED COMPRESSOR STALLS WHILE ENROUTE.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO LGW.  THE NR 3 ENGINE WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED.  THE ENGINE WAS RUN AND OPERATION CHECKED GOOD.  *S/D*  INSPECTION OF THE ENGINE FOUND THAT THE ENTIRE COMPRESSOR HAD SUFFERED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE.  IN ADDITION, ONE EACH STAGE 2 BOOSTER VANE HAD SUFFERED IMPACT DAMAGE.  METALLURGICAL ANALYSIS CONFIRMED FOREIGN OBJECT DAMAGE. COMPRESSOR SURGES WERE A RESULT OF EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE COMPRESSOR.
