Re: Placing the Fairey Battle.
Well, that change of adjective might have resulted in very significantly different tone.
On the CMN, Brown states:"Our job at RAE Farnborough was to determine how critical this limiting Mach number was if taken to the ultimate loss of control." And: "From these tests it was clear that the true limiting Mach number of the Typhoon was 0.79 and the true critical Mach number was 0.81." On the Tempest: "Our other great interest in the Tempest V at the RAE was in its high Mach number characteristics, and thse proved to be very similar to those of the Typhoon, except that it had a limiting Mach number of 0.81 true and a critical Mach number 0.83 true." So, you may believe theoretical pencil pushing wankers, err Hoerners, I do believe real testing.
