"It is also worth noting that the W-Wind Mk7 RRPM was normally 207"
Actually I think it was 210 normally and 213 in the hover. The crewmen in the back would look up between ones legs and make a very loud noise if the rrpm dropped below 213 in the hover over the sea. It seems amazing now that just the loss of a few rrpm could cause one to ditch. Ah - the manual throttle - didn't we just love it! And cartridge starters - clutch pumps - high energy button for starting and so on. If you had to do a manual start, and yes it had a starting handle! it was 82 turns of the handle for one revolution of the engine. Had to do that once during the P1127 trials on HMS Bulwark. D
