These two video clips were taken at Omaka Aerodrome, Blenheim on Saturday when a Cheetah Mk.9 radial engine was started and run for the first time since it last ran back in 1944. The engine has recently been overhauled. It is out of an Avro Anson which is being restored to airworthy status. A second Cheetah Mk.9 engine is currently being overhauled and both engines will eventually power the restored Anson into the air. The aeroplane is currently at Nelson.


Here is the first clip showing the engine being started....





Here is the second clip showing the engine idling, then being shut down....
