Bristol Centaurus engines fitted to the Sea Fury aircraft were not originally fitted with ignition cut out switches,cutting power was achieved by cutting the fuel supply to the fuel injectors,this meant that a mechanic manually rotating a propeller could suffer injury or death should the engine "kick over" due to residual fuel in the cylinders this was one of the modifications deemed necessary during the time my cousin was involved ,he spent two years in England with the Fleet Air Arm learning to maintain fuel systems and was responsible for training others upon his return to Australia.
