Crushed walnut shells was the standard way of cleaning the main engine gas turbines (2 x Olympus and 2 x Tyne) on Her Majesty's war canoes fitted with that GT propulsion systems. Fired through when the GT was running at idle. Got rid of salt and other deposits on the turbine blades. Its a pity they didnt use chestnuts then we could have had roast chestnuts.....  As a matter of interest the turbines were run on marine diesel not aviation kerosene.
