50knots at around 42 degrees off runway heading or better would mean only 35knots of cross-wind or less at the strongest gust.

90 degrees on 11/29. 04/22 isn't available for a 737.

40kt of crosswind.

Are the RAAF BBJ pilots permitted to operate outside the 35kt envelope?

Well aware of that Nick. I've done enough crosswind landings to understand, however, going by the bare facts that we are provided with in the story, you can only assume it's all crosswind.

Mick wasn't being critical of your knowledge, was more pointing out that the article mentioned 50 knot crosswinds but technically the crosswind may not have actually been 50 knots.
