Thanks, L'aviateur & Moli. It has been a very rewarding project to be involved with.
The engine is quite special. I think there are four running Mercedes D-III's in the world right now. It's a 14,7 liter watercooled straight six that makes 200hp at 1400 rpm. Our D.VII has the most advanced version with an altitude compensating carburettor. It has even got mounting points for a generator that was used to power an electricly heated pilot suit for high altitude operations (that's in 1918!). Starting it is quite interesting as it doesn't have a starter motor and it's to heavy to hand swing. Instead it has a special starting magneto. This video shows the full starting sequence including using the on board hand pump to pressurize the fuel system.
The camera used is the Panasonic GF1 with the 14-45 zoom lens on it's 720p setting.

This was a quick improvised shoot that shows quite a lot of camera shake from buffeting. I'll try to make a better video from a more suitable platform next time.
