We demonstrated an engine start for one potential African buyer and I warned him that there could be a small fireball , the flame that shot out was a beauty due a bit too much fuel getting in before it lit and the flame was a good 3 metres long with the accompany RR Gnome 'fffwhoooosh'

I never seen a guy lock his sphincter so fast and try and retreat at the same time , we nearly had to do a quick trip back to town to buy some new trousers ! He really nearly kacked his pants haha
