| Total time: 33 hours, 30 mins, more than 8 times - in 8 days
- the total hours Storm Smith flew with MHB in more than 6 months.
Average speed: 70 mph.
Compare with GT Global average speed on world flight of 57mph on 912
Quantum, and Dalgety Flyer average of 56mph.
Vijaypat Singhania averaged 67 mph on his CFM Shadow flight from England
to India in 1988.
Average daily time in air: 4 hours, 31 mins.
That means we flew – on average – more hours each day than
the whole of the training schedule devised by Storm Smith for MHB over
a period of six months.
