Didn't that fine example of British engineering, the BA46, have some strange speed limit around 8000ft - I think it was 230KIAS. This was due in part due to the resultant damage caused by a bird strike on the windscreen pillar, and not specifically the windscreens. Long time ago and similar to dating a complete nutter - a forgettable experience.
As for Mr Bailey's article, may I suggest several stiff whiskeys to make the incoherent somewhat coherent (like putting lipstick on a pig; it is still a pig).
