    AFAIK yes, although I haven't seen it for 10 years. Sam is a very clever man, his Milano cars are a significant part of Aussie racing history .

    I overheard the current owner of his 206SP replica telling an entirely wrong (and much more interesting) version of it's history, which he'd obviously been fed by the previous owner in order to sell it.

    That's the sad reality of replicas and heavily modified cars, the owners end up passionately believing a "chinese whispers" version of the truth. No doubt the QLD F40 replica will end up as a "factory prototype" :)

    You might have won that argument until Adrian came along - putting his car on a flat top because it ran out of petrol :)

    Yes, he's often found at historic race meetings.

    Google JWF Milano for background.

    How can you tell if you’re bored....

    When you start doing fuel economy calculations while you wait for the bus to take you to an aviation museum...

    It turns out that at long range cruise (715 km/h) at 45,000ft the PC-24 burns 74 litres / 100km

    And at high speed cruise (812 km/h) at 29,000ft it burns 132 litres / 100km.

    Thrilling, hey? :p

    That extra 100kph sure sucks a lot of juice.

    That sounds quite economical for a twin jet, I’m no expert mind you .:)

    Interesting the high speed cruise altitude, I though would have have been available at the higher altitude, or doesn’t the performance envelope allow that.

    Very economical

    One of the Navy ships I served on used to consume approximately 70 cubic metres of fuel every hour when we were cruising at 30 knots

    If we dropped the speed back to 13 knots we only used approximately 20 cubic metres of fuel

    I chose that altitude only because that is where the highest actual speeds are.
    High speed cruise is available up to 43,000ft, but the speed drops to 772km/h

    Ok, so at 43,000 ft and 772 km/h, the consumption is 80 litres / 100km, which is not a huge penalty above the long range cruise setting, so I guess it makes the most sense to go up into the 40s and use high speed cruise.
    Of course if you’ve got a roaring tailwind you might as well pull it back to LRC and save the fuel.

    :)

    The 777 is around 10,000kgs per hour in the climb and 6,000 to 8,000 kgs in the cruise, depending on Altitude and Weight. That's really efficient compared to the 747. Don't know why I bother using the recycle bin......:)
