Luke is a powerhouse

Rotary engine? Looks more like a radial engine.

It's a good job it didn't start it probably would took off.

Amazing!

They won't be able to do it without the fancy dress...

Bloke needs to be on throttle/ mixture controls, when starting a rotary, been there starting a GnomeRhone on a Genuine Sopwith Pup

Is that a Le Rohne Rotary? Le Rhône was the name given to a series of rotary aircraft engines built between 1910 and 1920. Le Rhône series engines were originally sold by the Société des Moteurs Le Rhône and, following a 1914 corporate buyout, by its successor company, Gnome et Rhône. During World War I, more than 22,000 nine cylinder Le Rhône engines were built, with the type far outselling Gnome et Rhône's other main wartime engine series, the Gnome Monosoupape.

That looks like an O-X5 engine.

Not the best position for the event. It looks like the grass ends on a drop off kerb, half a step away. The cones should be further away to give some escape space. The trainees should also be further out of the way. Hats and glasses off!
