This is THE BEST video showing the Hucks starter sequence. The second start gave even more information. Fantastic video. Wish I had one of these. Fantastic & Cheers!!
Ed, Thanks, it's always good to see the Hucks starter in use. They use it regularly for many of the WW1 and between the wars types. Last week they used it with the Polikarpov PO-2, the film for which I'll add here in due course!
Very many thanks for posting this one Steve!!! I have often wondered how the starter shaft disengaged from the hub when the Hucks was used, the telescopic shaft makes that easy, it must have been a huge asset over hand swinging, some wonderful close up ground shots here, you know just what to focus on to answer peoples questions ! Stay safe ! Chris B.
Thanks Chris, my pleasure. I bet the Hucks Starter saved many a hand or arm or more? I was lucky to visit the museum just as the rain stopped and they were able to wheel her out!😊🏴
Have just finished reading 'Fire in the Sky' by Michael Molkentin a story about the men of Australian Flying Corps in WW1, both on the western front and in Egypt and Palestine. The Australian airmen were full of the praises of the Bristol Fighter so I decided to get some information on the aircraft.

The videogame Battlefield 1 made me aware of this beautiful piece of aviation history.
That is really awesome. Thx for showing such a neat procedure.

That sounds like a good book that I haven't yet read. Thanks for your comment and recommendation.👍
We love old english planes, and cars. ♥️ 🇬🇧 🇭🇺
That car can not be edible anymore. It expired 87 years ago.
