We know a lot more about the atmosphere's behaviour than we did
in the 1970's when records on older types were set.  I think 
there's still some unachieved performance left to be wrung out
of them.

On 10 Jan 2010, Derek Spencer and Igor Blazujevic did 426km 
out of Stonefield in an engine-off Motorfalke.  Has anyone 
beaten that? :)
