Possibly true, I know airflow patterns change at high speed, but know
nothing about the subject. Sounds like Vne is totally exceeded in this
case, which is when you start crossing your chest :-)

On a brighter note, I sat and passed the practical flying test on Sunday
so I'm now fully licensed - well, as soon as CASA gives the final OK on
paper.

What a day. 9AM till 6PM, followed by the aeroclub bar ;-)
