FIRST ~ Kuala Lumpur International Airport 281005

We are leaving for Manchester today (en route to Ireland), and after settling down in our seats on the plane, the pilots get their 'push-back and start' clearance.

When the pushing is done, time to start the four engines, and yes, they all light up except #4. After a while the captain mumbles about having to swap the starter motor or something, so the plane is towed back to the gate and we get off (with our cabin bags in case we need to swap planes too!).

Splendid start, Mr MAS!
