Halifax Mk 111 cruising speed

[78SqnHistory]

Can anyone suggest what the cruising speed of a Halifax III would be if it were running on three engines. No bombs on on board. Secondly I’m guessing that which engine is lost is important, if for example you lose the port outer I’m assuming you would have to throttle back the starboard outer and vice versa?
Apologies if I’m being a bit dim, I’m neither a pilot or an engineer.

Many thanks

Pilots notes has
"One engine failed:
At 54,000 lb use weak mixture cruising boost. Trim to fly without foot load at 140 (150) mph IAS. Height can normally be maintained to 18,000 ft."

Trim is the secret of outer engine failure - recommendation is throttle back the opposite outer and apply rudder trim, feather dead engine. After trim applied reopen throttle of live outer engine slowly.
