I'm sure it was a communication problem.   Wilkinson was assurely speaking 
about the flow of air through the A/C at the rear of the car, which does 
change with speed.   Airflow past the engine always comes from the bottom and 
out the top at all speeds.

I don't believe the airflow actually reverses at the A/C.   What probably 
happens is that there is a vacuum generated at the rear of the car and 
airflow stagnates.
