In zero wind conditions,

200mph/25 miles/07:30 minutes
250mph/25 miles/06:00 minutes
300mph/25 miles/05:00 minutes
350mph/25 miles/04:17 minutes

Re: How quick could a Mosquito cover 22 & 26 miles?
Thanks everyone, only info I have via pilot - mysteriously weather in target area for 15 Jan 45 is only mildly noted down in 235, 248, 333, or 143 & base log and not at all in Fraserburgh for patrol area.

Are we talking Norwegian coast now? All of January 45 was supposed to be so bad there was almost no flying at Gossen I believe.
