What happened?
What happened to the NT operator that tried to start an engine while his pilot was checking the oil? This story went quiet!
Luxury! Back in my day, we used to have to go out and dig up the oil from the ground, carry it in an old cardboard box, then fill the engine up while it was taxying to the runway. Kids these days have it too easy I reckon!
Anyone try it n a Beverley....engines running!!!!
AWB, you were lucky! We used to 'ave to kill a dinosaur with our bare hands, wait 65 million years, then dig whacking great hole, suck the oil up in our mouths and spit it into the engine at full RPM ... tell that to kids these days, they won't believe you.

Nope, Aotw is close to being correct. 😄

But then, 'Some' aircraft don't need no oil, nor petrol, nor nuthin'......

Engines? Bah! Back in my day, we hadn't even evolved legs, we had to get around as simple microbes. Nice to see some of you haven't evolved your sense of humour beyond the need for a single cell though
