Turbine blades.
I did have some turbine blades I had scrapped when I used to work in an engine shop, brought some home so show my dad. Next day found them in the recycling bin!

yeah was an excellent programme, need more of that stuff on tv these days rather than the cr*p they usually put on. Just got to love the sound of a huge jet engine spool up
the fan case integrity check to keep a lost fan inside and the water ingress testing was pretty cool too
