As a former Twin Pin operator I am fascinated - what was the answer, in lb?

I recall doing rate of descent measurements in a Dove on the Flight Test course at Cranfield in the 60s (only one engine shut down of course). Always remembered the answer - at the datum speed and height, the drag was 630lb!

Happy days indeed.
