"On 22 July 1966, Walter "Taffy" Holden, a 39-year-old engineer in command of No. 33 Maintenance Unit RAF with limited experience flying small single-engine trainer aircraft, inadvertently engaged the afterburner of a Mach 2.0–capable English Electric Lightning during ground testing at RAF Lyneham. Unable to disengage the afterburner, Holden ran down the runway, narrowly missing a crossing fuel bowser and a de Havilland Comet taking off, before taking off himself."

@KrajciTom@universeodon.com @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Yes that's the story. However as you don't have an afterburner you should be quite alright.

The electric motor system has a canopy switch. If the canopy is open, the motor control unit throws an error and displays a "Canopy" error message.

If you override it three times, the motor can run with the canopy open.

Up to now, this is how I tested the electric motor...with canopy open and me standing next to the cockpit.
