that photo is of an aircraft parked on parafield in south australia.
a chap with a flat battery in another aircraft hand propped the
aircraft, engine started and roared into life, the aircraft jumped the
chocks and graunched along the fuselage of the twin until the meatier
parts around the wing stopped the engine.
photo taken after the aircraft were pulled apart.
