HC....are we not becoming too rigidly glued to procedure here?
A slight nudge on the cyclic...or in your case a bit of push on a button lowering the nose a tad....and you would have been back at that magic number!
THINK Laddie! Walk on the wild side now and then! What's a hundred feet in altitude for a sublime pleasure?

This was yesterday afternoon, heading back from Sealion Island to Mt Pleasant in the Falklands - 161 kts in an S61 (I know, it's not exactly 61 in a 61, but 161 seemed in keeping with the thread........)
At the other end of the scale, I remember many years ago being vectored for an ILS to 17 at Aberdeen (yes, it was 17 in those days....) getting on the localizer at 25 miles and into a 60kt headwind, making 50 kts g/s, we were on the ILS for half an hour
