Following the intentional shutdown of the left engine for training purposes, the crew were unsuccessful in re-starting the left engine, owing to a failure of the right engine starter/generator. This resulted in the aircraft being in a one engine inoperative state on battery power only. The crew made a VOR approach to Campbeltown and landed safely about 40 minutes after the failure of the generator.
