Thanks. I see the classification is retired. Was the 3km course limited by a "not above" height?

Both of those were done at sub 200 feet and are the same record class as the F-104. If memory serves until the late 1953 the absolute airspeed record had to be done at low level. thus the reason that the Hunter and Swift were able to break the record just before the rules were changed (the Hunter and Swift got the same record as Sageburner as well as the absolute airspeed record).
