To average 306 he certainly exceeded that speed for much of the flight.
I too would like to understand the mods and the risk analysis for this
flight.


Klaus if flying a company-modified Nimbus 4 DM which allows a Vne of
260 km/h IAS at 6.000 meters.

260 kp/h IAS at 6.000m = 350 kp/h TAS.

Can you explain which mods have been done? Shortened wingtips and
strengthened tail boom?
