Did I note the Inertia starter motor in action ? now that is a rareity the few DAks I've seen have been fitted with "normal" starters as spares for the old type are like hens teeth according to my American friends

I did my DC-3 endorsement on ZK-AMY back in 2006 when she was still with Pionair at Wigram - she was fitted with the normal starters then.
