'Borrowed' this piccie from the great ouse boating assoc forum. Who says we don't have more fun on the gt.ouse??
"A thrilling speed battle between air, land and water took place near Huntingdon yesterday. Mr J.W. Whillan, the famous motor boat racing expert, in his speed boat and young Mr de Havilland, the famous airman in his machine raced against the L.N.E.R. expresses over a distance of three miles where the track runs beside the River Ouse. The trains, which travel at 80 m.p.h. at this point invariably led owing to the difficulties in navigation experienced by the aeroplane and the speed boat."
The picture caption says: The express gains the lead at the end of a thrilling battle along the River Ouse. (Fox. JUNE 1st.)
