No problems Brian!

According to the Pilots Notes for the MK III & VII (A.P.1719C & G. -P.N. dated March 1944, and reprinted October 1944), they are as follows : –

at 46,000 lbs
Flaps & U/C Up – 96 mph
Flaps & U/C Down – 74 Mph

at 55,000 lbs
Flaps & U/C Up – 105 mph
Flaps & U/C Down – 85 mph

at 65,000 lbs
Flaps & U/C Up – 112 mph
Flaps & U/C Down – 92 mph

(The pdf copy I got these from has had a gummed amendment stuck over the original paragraph of the stalling section).

Cheers
