Now Where Did I Put That Old Pratt & Whitney FT12-A3 Jet Engine?

You know, the one that came in old Voodoos and Boeing 707s and, oh yeah, that Canadian tin can... what was it called? Oh yeah, HMCS Athabaskan.

From the Vancouver Sun:
John Wilson never dreamt there might be anything of value inside the old cargo container he picked up for $400 at a Nova Scotia junk yard in 1998.

"I stuck my head in the container and I said, 'Oh my, I'm going to jail. I didn't buy a jet engine, where did that come from?'"
