Bug: Mosquito B.IV ASI under-reading
Description: ASI can under-read by 10-20 mph
Reproduceable Steps: Launched 2 different missions in FMB with Mossie at 20 000 ft for purpose of bombsight training. Once power set & speed stable cockpit ASI reading ~190 mph; sb IAS = 205 mph and 'no-cockpit' TAS meter reads 470 kph, which corresponds to 205 mph (from Bombsight table 2).
[B.XVI not checked]
Just confirmed same discrepancy in QMB.
