Looking at the NZ current weather put me in mind of "Downwind" Gillan, who in 1938 flew a 335 mph Hurricane from Edinburgh to London at an average of 408 mph - so I might try something similar from Auckland to Christchurch, following the wind out by the B of P. The Hughes 500 looks like a suitable mount. Should be a good test for my FSreal WXlite, too.
Watch this space

As an aside, in the course of checking my facts, I came across this website, which looks worth further investigation:

Sorta Something Six years back http://nzff.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8489&st=12 .. pity I should have carried on with it and teach some peoples Brains !

Of course I really meant Howard 500, not Hughes - but I know you all spotted the deliberate mistake
Was about to start up at Whenuapai when this message came in...

I was hoping for the new incoming 'Lodestar' but 'How,y' will have to do

Well, that was an interesting exercise - the only thing that didn't behave was the rain, which clearly takes no account of windspeed.

Round about here

Funny thing Mike, one of these could scoot along and outrun a Hurricane
