Why bother? I got the speed back to about 45 kt ias when landing the prototype at Farnborough with Angus McVitie; wouldn't have thought you would need to go slower.
The Hampshire Police one was actually (unofficially?) in operation the day before the tragic accident; it was conducting a search at Aldershot and I was talking to it from Farnborough Tower.
