One to send modern occupation health and safety officers into a spin. VH-RPN hooked to the hangar while its engine is being run. No ear protection for the engineer, who is just centimetres from the spinning prop, or anyone else as the noise reverberated though the building. VH-RPN is still around after a couple of changes of identity (now VH-MBT) and conversion into a taildragger.
