We were once at Doula in Cameroun due to go to Kinshasa (and didn't have a Bedford truck) but had a duff starter motor on the number four. It was very difficult to explain to the Tower that we would taxy on three and start the number four windmilling on the roll and if it didn't start we'd abort and return.
