Windermere Jetty Museum - engine on board speedboat Canfly
Canfly was built in 1922 specifically to house this 7.4 litre beast of a petrol engine. It is an 85 horsepower 6 cylinder Rolls-Royce Hawk Mark I, serial No. 322. It was initially used in an airship. The boat was used for racing and as a support vessel for record attempts. The engine is now considered too rare to risk in operational use, so the vessel is displayed on dry land.
