Actually a sweeping right orbit, Duff Man but the rest was pretty accurate. Just over 400kts GS, and the radar couldn't keep up with the Mode C and gave an invalid reading for most of the descent (only other time I've seen that was when I asked a Hornet for best rate of climb off the deck to F130 and he levelled out two miles and thirty seconds later and asked if that was okay
). Our Merlin friend got from F160 to just over A050 in under a minute. Then back up to over A100 in the next minute! Scary to watch from the comfort of my chair so must have been positively heart-stopping in the cockpit. There were a whole lot of people in that room hoping that it was all going to end well.
