Francis Ransley hydroplane "Roadrunner"

[Renojet]

I met Francis Ransley in Tasmania a few years ago just after I bought The Jet and have just heard of his recent passing. Another friend from the Renault club sent me a magazine with a Youtube link of 2 of his record runs. See below

A hell of an achievement and another big loss to our boating community. RIP Francis.

Amazing achievement. I cannot believe the monster rooster tail behind this hydro.

Terrific footage here.
