G-EMMA's method


Rest of it's on this page.

Chuck's method is alluded to on this page.
On the same flight at one of the airports we landed at one of the engines wouldn't start so the French pilots wrapped a rope around the propeller hub and worked at turning the engine over. This was the first time I had ever seen something like this. Eventually the engine came to life and we flew off.
