Trust me, if anyone ever broke that record the SR would have easily
re-established a higher record . . . The original record "upper limit" was set "low" to mask the true capabilities of the aircraft. Steve Swartz "RobbelothE" wrote in message ... I'm still amazed at the New York to London record set September 1, 1974: 1 hour 54 minutes and 56.4 seconds with an average speed of 1,807 statute mph over the 3,461 statute mile distance (and that INCLUDES slowing down for a refueling over the Atlantic)!!!!!!!
