Thanks Fargoo
Is this action usually performed by the pilots or the maintenance personnel, i.e would an installed engine ever be wet cranked just prior to a full start.

Normally done by maintenance personnel, as Turin mentions it's also done for leak checking sometimes.
Once a wet cycle is done it's normal for us to do a dry cycle (ie spin the engine on the starter with no fuel or ignition) to make sure any remaining fuel hasn't accumulated in the rear of the engine.
