misd-agin, yes as far as I recall. The pictures are from a different day but show pretty much the same.
On the very first picture, in the post above, in the distant horizon is a long flat cloud. As we reached that I did another few pictures, this is the same cloud:
Didn't take a lot of minutes to get there, from the first photos. And look how fast the margin increased by 3-4 knots:
Framer, I think nothing would have happened. The speed would have been 240 knots, and with the natural variations it would temporarily be above 240, and temporarily below 240 (which would then be in the amber band). What do you think would happen?
