Starting with both switches? Not in my aircraft, pal. In Australia, at least, Tigers are placarded "Start on front switch only". And, apparently in the UK as well. From the DH Moth Club.."Having sucked in, you are then ready to go. You call: "Throttle set, contact". The pilot responds, switches on the impulse magneto only, the forward switch, and sticks his grubby thumb up. You then give the propeller a swing-with-intent and the engine should start, at which point the pilot switches on the other magneto."
It is a nice Tiger.Se had one in camouflage,and after people regularly nearly landed on top of it painted it in RAF training yellow,Big improvement.See Shuttleworth,repInted theirs to.
We set throttle approximately half inch,( Not halfway) to start. Never pulled back as she started,as may cut-out.We operated 5 with Gypsy engines,licenced engineers.
