Dreadnaught was the only Sea Fury with the monster Pratt & Whitney 28 cylinder "Corn Cob" engine. This engine was used in the B-29 and the Corsair (see the Super Corsair elsewhere here). She qualified 2nd fast at 452.5 mph behind Rare Bear. And up thru Sat. has come in 2nd in each Gold heat behind Rare Bear. Update: For 2005 Dreadnaught came home 2nd in the Gold at a speed of 448.8 mph.
