Also slight thread drift
We were on a Beverley and flying from Lagos to Lubumbashi via a fuel stop in Douala. Unfortunately in Douala the number three wouldn't start as the starter motor was unserviceable. We'd been in Lagos for about eight days with an engine out about 100 nm N of Lagos, and the boss, the Wg Cdr, was determined to press on. The French speaking Air Trafficker wasn't good on English and my French wasn't too good either. I explained that we'd windmill the engine and try and start it ( wasn't it 'moulins à vent' ?)on the roll and if it wouldn't start we'd taxy back and shut down.
Fortunately the number 3 started and we set off for the Congo ! - we were stuck for a few days in the Congo waiting for a new starter motor.
