I remember watching a Baron get started in the wilds of PNG. Not a prop swing, but a u/s fuel pump. No problem, a coke can of fuel straight down the air intake and away she went!
At times, one must improvise!
Vaguely remember hearing that story in the Club Dero one Friday (of course) evening.
Even so, it is something to file away in the memory banks for future reference.

Capt Fathom; When and where did this happen? Curious as to know.
