A certain West African location, 1986, 212....pilot does start checks which involve full and free on the twist grips, idle release back to shutoff etc. Except he forgot to do the idle release bit, operated the starter and cracked open the fuel from ground idle upwards.

I was on leave at the time but I was told it was quite spectacular
