}} | Miss England III was the name of the last of a series of speedboats used by Henry Segrave and Kaye Don to contest world water speed records in the 1920s and 1930s. Design and construction Miss England III differs from the earlier Miss Englands in using twin screws. The type R engines from Miss England II were also further developed by improved supercharging. Racing career On 18 July 1932, Kaye Don set a new world water speed record of {{convert|119.81|mph|kn km/h|abbr=on}} on Loch Lomond. The record stood until August, falling to a new four-engined Miss America X at {{convert|124.91|mph|kn km/h|abbr=on}}.
