Sorry for a little thread drift but this...
Breech in, engine primed, cowling secure and rear switches on (Sir) ?
Reminded me of a post - xmas day at Abingdon many years ago,very cold weather...chippies not been started for a while and were being a little reluctant to fire up.
One of our VRT gentlemen told his groundcrew that they were clear to prime (even though he had just started his walkround
) so young eddie says 'ok' - he primes and swings the prop and hey presto the dripsy chunks into life and continues to idle
even with both mags off LOL.
Eddie is just staring at the prop spinning - our pilot is stood holding on to the rudder just gawping
A quick thinking sumpy SAC jumps up and pulls the fuel cut off !!
What a great start to the new year...I had a great laugh
