Hmmmm, the vast array of aircraft I fly on FS makes me most knowledgable, especially with varying flying characteristics; thus I know the Jumbo just as well as anyone who flies it.
Utter rubbish. Just like the article.
It flew at it's standard 0.85 or so (or whatever BA do these days if they're still using zero CI for everything). Nothing supersonic about it. It was all about a strong, and long lasting bit of wind. Which also describes
A340Yumyum's posts.
Oh, and just which variant of the 74 is it that has an "
airspeedometer" ?
