RR

First walkaround I did on the RR - looked up the tailpipe and thought 'Crikey...who stole the engine!'
Then, 14 secs from fuel/ign to light up??? Sheeeit...never saw that before!
Spool up on T/O - Slooooooooowwwwww.....
In flight re-light must be sphincter tightening.
POS.

PS Aussies are all fkn prats. I've tried to be tolerant, but recent events proved my prejudice was well founded.
