One point though. Please don't forget to help them fill their buckets. No funds = no Vulcan next year.

I don't wish to be the bearer of bad news, but didn't I read somewhere that the Vulcan isn't scheduled to fly again until August 20th at Bournemouth?
I hope I'm wrong...

Oggy - I have been away so I missed the question about starting a car 3 times in a row. I do that when off road, it's not always wise to leave the engine running so I might go 10 yards, stop/start, another 10 yards stop/start. It's only the battery I'd worry about and since I fitted a huge tractor battery I don't worry too much anyway...

No worries about connecting a high current source to a highly inductive load and the resulting plasma discharge etching the faces of the contacts?
No worries about the imperfect mechanical engagement of a suddenly started motor with a stationary gear? Etc.
Everyone is indeed entitled to their opinions, but as an engineer, I prefer the facts.
