- Step into the cockpit of our 1917 Bristol F2b Fighter with Anton, one of our engineers, who will talk through the priming, starting and running sequence of the aircraft.
The aircraft is powered by an original Rolls Royce Falcon V12 engine - the oldest working Rolls Royce aero engine anywhere in the world.
The Shuttleworth Collection in Bedfordshire, England is home to a vast array of vintage aircraft, vehicles, as well as agricultural machinery. The Collection hosts a series of flying days from May to October each year, and is open to the public on non-flying days as well.
General admission and event tickets can be purchased at www.shuttlewor...
Awesome! I'll remember this whenever I need to start a Bristol F2b. Whenever uh, that'll be.
Great video, thank you.
We don’t prime ours before a Huck start, just straight in to it. I let the Huck turn over a couple of blades to build a bit of momentum before switching on, it will always catch within two or three more blades for a very smooth gentle start. I notice you had a backfire on the first blade of your start. I Dont know if that matters at all?
When are you guys coming back for another visit to NZ? We’d love to see you at TVAL again.
Beautiful Aircraft
This really helps, I was wondering how to start my Bristol fighter
This start is very similar to the method I used, except I used a bell type switch to run the starter. LOL
Excellent video Thank you! Never seen a Hucks starter in use! So glad I found this 😀
That's great! I watched the classic TV series Wings for the first time a few years ago and always wondered what they were doing during the whole start up procedure "Switches off, sucking in" Great series!
Good stuff!
Any chance of some more of these videos featuring other aircraft from the collection?
We might have something in the pipeline - watch this space!
@@ShuttleworthCollection_OW Fantastic - will be watching!
I never saw the RPM needle move a bit. 🤷🏽♂️
Very interesting.
What is the little oval just above the 'RPM' markings, that appears to flicker when the engine is running?
The little oval is just an indicator to tell you the RPM gauge is working, rather than jammed. So, for instance, if you're in the cruise at 1700 RPM you can verify you are indeed doing 1700 RPM rather than it having stuck somewhere along the lines!
