Always interesting to see what was created - must have been some exciting times. Shame there is nowhere near as much activity / experimentation today.
Also bearing in mind limiations of mechanicals and build materials / processes in those days some retty amazing speeds were found. Even more so if you look at motor racing and the work carried out on the streamliners for example.
Don't feel like going back to working on RIB designs for the rest of the day now - should be off to design a new raceboat!
