220 IAS with the mkIa

they should both be at or around the 365 TAS mark (its a few MPH higher or lower depending on the plane, prop,engine II or II and fuel octane 87 or 100)

Also the mkIa (which should be using a DH 5/29 or 5/30 bracket CSP) should have a better rate of climb than the mkI which used the older 2-pitch De Havilland prop.
At least the MKI seems to get pretty close. 260 mph IAS @18500 = 353 mph TAS. http://www.csgnetwork.com/e6bcalc.html
