A visitor from France posted Sun August 16, 2009: ... And not a single fire extinguisher at hand ! Lucky day for the bird !
A visitor from France posted Sun August 16, 2009: What a ... hot start !!
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu June 18, 2009: HP fuel cock opened too early or too quickly puts excess fuel in the jet pipe which catches fire when the engine does light up. If engine fails to light then a 'wet start' is the result. I remember it with some nostalgia but can't remember doing it myself. Bruce Spurr (ex.5, XI, 68, 151, CFS etc.)
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Tue September 5, 2006: Cool shot!! Did you know the mark from that burning is still there today!
A visitor from United States posted Tue April 18, 2006: Very nice shot! "Surplus fuel" is an oxymoron though!
A visitor from Belgium posted Sat April 8, 2006: Must be cool to see a start up like that! And for an old jet, the grass seems smoking harder than the engine itself. I think there was at least one unhappy guy about it and that must have been the gardner :)
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun January 29, 2006: Fantastically clear and exciting. Poor gardener!!
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon January 23, 2006: High quality photo. Clear and concise. Explains and confirms what is happening at that moment
