Interesting. You'd want that thing to start first time, wouldn't you?

amazing ! :D
I remember seeing Robbie Coltrane a few years back starting a huge V8 car engine that drove a new York air raid siren . it hadn't been started for over 60 years !

I wonder how many engines actually originate from military requirements like the little British WW2 fold -up scooter dropped by parachute .

Not a great plan using two stroke , the enemy would spot you ( and hear you ) from miles away .
