In the early 1980s we watched a C130 make a number of fast runs down the Belize Airport Camp runway, three engines running, one not - while they tried to do a windmill start.
It didn't work. Strange thing was, the crew didn't notice it was U/S with prop feathered when they finally took off on three engines - until they had got almost all the way to Nassau, a far nicer place to wait for a new engine.
It's only rumour, of course. Especially as the AOC was on board.
