didn't the prince of wales crack a 146 up when he landed it somewhere (other than england)?

I don't remember the angle of sweepback, but it wasn't that swept, which would give better short field performance.

I'll say this, it didn't climb well above 10,000' and did not fly fast, I think we cruised it at .68

It did land smoothly though, the trailing link main gear made a greaser into the softest landing ever and a standard landing into a greaser.
