I beat you (not that it is a competition mind you!); according to the Trimble GPS 218 knots, same aircraft cruising straight and level. I didn't know someone had since beaten me! Was also hovering with 70 knots on the clock that day, 50+ ft waves well above the cellar deck to boot. Got 240 knots out of the 412 but they were adjusting the timining of the LORAN ground stations then so can't really claim that one!
