Unbelievable - this is how Spitfire have to look at engine start! Look at this feature from the start of the video.

They probably flame so much because they have carburetors instead of fuel injection witch doesn't seen to flame when started. I really only think it happens
though when they are over primed and you get a lot of fuel vapore in the air.
