Regretfully I never flew the Electra, but that number 3 really
sounded (both outside and inside the cabin) as it started in
HiRPM whenever one of the Ansett Wombat Squadron fire up
Then #4 started in Hi and both (paddle switched?) to Lo RPM.
I notice in the Reeve vid below they start #4 in Low for genny
purposes as described above, then paddle to Hi (I assume) to
crossbleed start #3. But wouldn't #4 generator then drop out
and everything go dark?
In any case those Allisons sound absolutely horny! They give
me a bloody hard-on.
PS - Anos Douros shows the FE starting engines.
