Two R engines, "R17" and "R19", were built for Sir Henry Segrave's twin-engined water speed record boat "Miss England II", this craft being ready for trials on Windermere by June 1930. On Friday 13 June, Segrave was fatally injured and a Rolls-Royce technical advisor, Victor Halliwell, was killed when "Miss England II" capsized at high speed after possibly hitting a log. Shortly before his death Segrave learnt that he had set a new water speed record of just under 100 mph (160 km/h). On 18 July 1932, Kaye Don set a new world water speed record of on Loch Lomond in a new boat, "Miss England III", which also used engines "R17" and "R19".
