I clocked my best ever ground speed @ circa 182 knots (210mph) in steady
descent over the English Channel 5000 ft about 3 years ago. When I
levelled out it fell to around 162 knots, engine firewalled at 5700RPM.
Guaranteed, and recorded on my GPS !

..on that basis, I figure the tailwind component must have been IRO 30
knots.
