Yes. I've watched mine a lot recently. It adjusts alternator load dependant on requested power. Eg if you're accelerating, it might drop to 12.0v whereas if you're decelerating at 2000rpm, it will start charging at 13.6 or even go up to 14.7 depending on state of charge.
It sounds to maintain a state of charge of around 80% for the purposes of engine emissions
As my brain doesn't ingest info as readily as it used to I only study things I need to know about. So having done my 5 minutes on google I concur with your explanation.

And that's the other thing I've noticed.. the go pedal isn't a throttle like in the old days, its an interface which tells the ecu how much power you want. The car decides how much and how quickly to increase the fuel injection rate and if/when to change gear
 
Took my 4.2 sc on a 6 hour round round trip from Rochdale to Duxford air museum Cambs, drove great there and back, even kept the mother in law happy! Took about £95 fuel with average of around 24-26mpg.
Also for anyone not been Duxford is definitely worth visiting- we’ve been twice and saw things now that we missed before and the sound of a spitfire taking off and low passes is incredible.
WHen im in the UK istay near littlehampton and the goodwood airfield is near and often there is a spitfire flying over and if you have got a spare bit of cash you can fly one

 
i think the RR sport is a better option or the new defender 90 or 110

That B52 in the American hanger is massive!
 
Many thanks to @doriz Thanks to Lee I now have my own Nanocom and not relying on having to go to the yard and use the one up there. I'd noticed last week he still had it for sale so bit the bullet and dived in. Sorted our transaction out monday and took delivery wednesday. Had a few problems trying to register it with BBS but after sending an email they sorted it all out within an hour this morning. The staff there are on the ball. Purchased the Diesel unlock codes for £55 which again were supplied within the hour.
If any one interested I now have the Hawkeye V5 with gems thor and diesel plus hevac ,EAS and other stuff included on it. Comes with the ordinary cable aswell as the cable for EAS. I have a copy of the instruction book in PDF format on the computer which I'm going to put on memory stick to go with it. Not in a rush to get rid but if I am made a sensible offer I will let it go.

I'm lucky enough to live in the flight path of the Spitfire from Headcorn Aerodrome, it passes over my house half a dozen times a day in the warmer months. If you pay the really big bucks for the passenger experience, they will do loops and barrel rolls with it which is quite often overhead here. That is some sound too!
