Shaped like a fish, slipped through the air easily, 145 kt cruise without a whimper, 168 kt if you pushed it.
A bit like an Italian sports car, though. With 2 up, it carried full fuel. With 6 or 7 on board, lucky to get 45 minutes out of it before needing another small sip. And if the extra tank was full, having 2 on board meant they were the skinny ones - at least it was that way on our rather heavy Mk 2 Plus (pictured further up wheels-up...). Those cast-iron gyros and autopilot were heavy. If we had the glass screens and modern gear of today it would be 90kg lighter.
