Ok, just managed to get to 22000 (just!!), I didn't know how to push the throttle 'through the gate'. before.

I was down to about 85 IAS by then.

By the time I got up there, the thing was shaking about unbelievably, although I couldn't decide whether it was supposed to be turbulence causing negative G and thus the misfires, if that what the 'stuttering' is.

Mind you, the motor was still running clean enough on the descent.

But lord above, it was hard work.

Don't know if I can even be bothered trying for another 10k.

Blimey, I'm knackered.

Should we be manually engaging high gear supercharging, or is it automatic?
