That reminds me when I collected one of Her Majesty's finest SA Bulldogs from Prestwick a few years ago (well probably 45 actually). I asked what the cross wind limit was. They told me that was not one. They had flown it in 45 knots X & suggested that if it was more, then as the short field landing VAT was 55 knots, I should land across the runway at right angles giving me a ground speed of 10 knots. I also remember landing a Chippy once in 50 kts, a vertical landing as it turned out, but taxying was out of the question until the wing-walkers turned up. Even then, I needed 2 on each wing.
