I don't know anything about "flash steam engines" ( yet !) but this hydroplane goes like stink !
Sounds like a racing two stroke coming "on pipe "

I'm glad I persevered with that! Is the film speeded up or does it actually corner that quickly?

I dunno
, but they don't go that fast at Crowborough boating pond/lake!
Would i stand behind that plastic net, with it whizzing round? Nope!
String snapped on this one i guess! Did it hit the camera man?

I was just going to mention tether racing for cars, real speeds of close to 200mph.
