BGC-26A – Ford Model T Hucks Starter – Green
Starting the engines of early aircraft could be a hazardous and labour-intensive process. The Hucks Starter provided a mechanical solution, using a vehicle-mounted system to turn an aircraft's propeller and start its engine.
BGC-26A – Ford Model T Hucks Starter – Green combines the famous Model T with this specialised piece of early aviation ground equipment.
It makes a fascinating addition to an operational airfield, particularly when positioned beside an aircraft preparing for take-off. The vehicle also demonstrates just how rapidly motor transport became integrated into military aviation.
Available through The Military Workshop – an unusual and highly detailed John Jenkins vehicle representing an important piece of early airfield technology.
