OOPS!

A knot is 2 metres per second then on the next page 80 knots is 40
metres per second.

Shouldn't that be 160m/s? Four times greater. (Or knot, as the case
may be.)


A knot is approx half a metre per second, so it's the first one that's
incorrect. Can you tell me which page that is on, please?
