Am I missing something. The info in the cadors does not make sense to me
The aircraft was 35 miles NW of Hamilton, then 38 minutes later it landed in Winnipeg after shutting the engine down? Am I to assume that if flew what would normally be a 2 hour something minute flight on 2 engines, in 38 minutes on 1?

Was going to ask the same thing. Works out to something in the neighbourhood of 1200 kts.

The "Z" after the 4-digit time stands for "zulu".

There is a point about 60 miles south of Winnipeg called Humbolt (HML)... it's possible that was listed and someone along the line incorrectly translated it to Hamilton :) Who knows?
