I was lucky enough to catch this nostalgic hydroplane powered by a V12 Rolls Royce Merlin engine..these older boats definately have a personality all of their own

Don't think so.... the Harrier has a Jet Engine, in the boat that is clearly a piston engine and I believe used to be fitted in "Spitfires"

I actually thought from the subject of your post I was going to be viewing the graceful lines of a spit but when I saw the boat I was surprised. It kinda reminds me of the boat out of the "Great Race". Great shot BTW love it.
