Hi folks, I've been reading the post's on the engine in the Wright Flyer & what a coincidence, In my mail box today in Oz I received a magazine entitled "Flight Safety Australia" & in it is a full page story on the engine used for the first powered flight. I have scanned it & posted it in the drop box under "wright engine" It confirms that igniters were used, but there is also other interesting facts. There is no copywright involved just an acknowledgement of the magazine. (Another interesting article is on the "Gimli Glider" 20 years ago on the 23rd. of July) Cheer's Ian Sutherland.
