One of the 2 speedboats is the 40knot "Silver Bullet" which was owned, I believe, by well-known racing driver Kaye Don. It could seat 8 passengers and the Pilot. For anyone not old enough to remember, such speedboats traveled so fast at a time when the fastest RN Destroyers could only reach 35 knots, - that people likened them to "flying" and so the helmsmen were spoken of as "Pilots" by everyone.
