I did ask Andy about the wing strength and VNE when in Florida this year. We 
were discussing some of the speeds that the Americans were reaching with 
tail winds and at high level. I am sure that he said that the wing had been 
designed to somewhere around 300 mph so that any of the Americans flying 
high and fast were still within the limits of the design (without getting 
too technical).
I believe him and was reassured that exceeding VNE would not rip the wings 
off (not that I would want to go that way).
