Re. the No 2 engine start before the others - we did, as a matter of logic. If you had a problem with either of the wing engines, it was relatively simple to attend to them. However a start problem with the No 2 required the use of a 'cherry picker' plus the obvious other access difficulties, so it was considered best to find out about it first. Otherwise you could be sitting there with the other engine/engines burning fuel while you got all the necessary bits together.
It still rates as one of the best flying machines of its type
