Hughes, no not sure on the exact numbers it’s been about 15 years since I’ve flown a 269 so they might not be bang on perhaps it was 50. I do very clearly remember that it had dropped right off the gauge from been in the upper green. At the time I’d flown fixed wings so was a wary of cracking the cylinder head. It was during an auto with engine at 2000 rpm probably close to 0deg C or a little below..
