Engine Starting
How are the Avons in the airworthy Hunters and taxiable Lightnings started?
In my day in the RAF they were started by cartridge(Hunter) and AVPIN(Lightning). In the Middle East the Hunters were started by AVPIN. But surely both AVPIN & cartridges must be in very short supply if available at all.
Has an alternative(safer) electric starting system been designed for them?
Just curious
