BOAC;
Sorry if this getting a bit off track, but I've been wondering for some time, in the context of loss of airspeed indication, would a pilot always be able to distinguish between high-speed and low speed buffet? Does it feel differently, and how would he 'learn' to differentiate?

EDIT:: I noticed in the BOEING paper that their stall warning schedule (fig.10) is designed to allow that distinction.
