A rare meeting of minds, experience and water speed record breaking prowess took place this afternoon when these three legends came face to face in Coniston.

With a combined top speed of 625 mph between them, it was perhaps fitting that the meeting took place in the spiritual home of world water speed record breaking.

Left to Right
•Dave Warby (New South Wales, Australia) is the son of Ken Warby, who set the outright World Water Speed Record in 1978 at 317 mph, a mark that still stands today. A highly respected figure in the sport in his own right, Dave is the restoration pilot of the famous Bluebird and is currently pursuing an outright World Water Speed Record attempt, aiming to surpass the legendary benchmark established by his father.

•Jim Noone (Leeds, England) is recognised as the fastest living British man on water, having achieved a speed of 160 mph (one way). One of the UK's most experienced and successful powerboat competitors, Jim continues to be a leading figure in British water speed record competition.

•Bob Wartinger (Seattle, USA), aged 81, is regarded as the most prolific water speed record breaker in history, having established an extraordinary 149 water speed records during his career. His fastest recorded speed stands at 183mph, making him one of the sport's most accomplished and enduring competitors.
