I can't recall the specific Hercules engine on a RAF kite, Hastings, Bristol Freighter, or Valetta where if the engine was coughing & spluttering we would do a full plug change and if that didn't cure it when ground running said engine we would turn off both magneto switches simultaneously, huge BANG. But it seemed to work, I guess always out of ear shot of engineering officers and the ilk as this was strictly against the rules!

No need to SHOUT! I've only been flying in one of these for 8 hours and what about the Khasi, that was something different. Time for a smoke methinks. Today these fliers don't know how we all roughed it.

1066 and all that, meaning Hastings
