A muddy quarry in the wilds of Norfolk, sandbagging and the need to get a dumper truck started, Helicopter crew (3 off them ) all on a starter handle together trying to turn the diesel over... enter a JT Sootie who nonchalantly wanders over, "let me have a go" he says, leans on engine (pushing down decompressor) takes the handle and swings it into life with the other hand.... Helicopter crew look on amazed.....
Roll on 24 hours and it's been raining heavy, same crew having exhausted themselves trying to turn over the same engine again are seen trying to "bump start" the said dumper truck in a muddy quarry........... Priceless, you just can't buy gems like that..
