The Bluebird Project

... please remind me how the fudged Windermere/Coniston documents played out last Christmas. Uncle Bulgaria left that out of his bottom-covering spiel on Wednesday. Perhaps he forgot like I have... This is a period with the project that I would rather forget. The 'timing' of the Proving Trial had n...

Given the refusal to open up co-operative lines of communication over the course of the past 10 years - as opposed to sneering salvoes from an internet forum- that is effectively how long Coniston has had to prepare. As I have been heard stating at de-briefing meetings - "no profanity and no sweari...

After all this time has a date actually been agreed?

It is anticipated that the LDNPA and the Bluebird Event Working Group will both make public statements regarding July 2019 quite soon.

as of today there is still nothing in place to host any sort of a homecoming event. Maybe that is about to change. When did you last speak to CPC or the Business Forum or the people of Coniston? When we have a date we can confirm and book everyone ......Coniston can throw a party! The writer of the...

If I sound like a stuck record then so be it. It is probably better than being identified as the school teacher that always told you that you were wasting your own time until you stopped and listened. The berthing of Bluebird in the dedicated wing of the Ruskin Museum built in 2008 has nothing to do...

I still think that for value for money, power and weight an afterburning Viper would be the best option. The setup on the car is crude but effective with little, if any, weight penalty. Although Craig Arfons spoke of adding an afterburner to his J85 powered jet hydroplane, this form of power enhanc...

The course length to be made available on Coniston Water is three (3) miles (say 5km), according to the byelaw. The K7 craft does not have to go to any particular speed, but doubling the length of the waterway will mean expanding our whole operation. I would think that to do justice to the Proving T...

The regatta lake is only two (2) kilometres end to end. If there had been two miles I would have been to see them before Bute, because it is so close and I could have slept in every day!. The powerboat racing did take place there, but not so much during the last decade. Jim Noone showed of Miss Wind...

Always keep a dictionary beside your desk, especially when dealing with BBP crew (I do)

'Right, settle down class. Come on, it's your own time you're wasting...'

I guess it did sound like this on the slipway. Because I kept being called the school teacher by a certain Mr A Kershaw of the One Show.

I don't do conundrums, they are too hard!
