Yoi were lucky it was only 4 minutes, originally it was 10. This was demonstrated at its first appearance at Farnborough; it lined up for its display but rolled before the engines had stabilised resulting in a compressor surge which necessitated a new engine being flown in, with the Antonov 22 turboprop bringing it nearly landing on the grass next to the runway!!
