The Bluebird Project

really into prototype/record vehicles from the X-15 to the Bloodhound SSC, .... I wanted to discuss the design, creation and history of these projects ….. I'll be able to become part of the community! Blatant sales pitch time :roll: :roll: :roll: - the Speed Record Club is another the group of peop...

Being deluded has prevented me from presenting answers to quotes as clearly as I would have liked. In case anyone has forgotten why operating the boat on Coniston Water is an important opportunity for Coniston and the National Park area as a whole, then please review the granting of the Bye Law. Thi...

From a document posted on the 2018 news pages of the CPC: Lakeland 100 Coniston Community Fund Coniston Christmas Lights (buy additional Lights for individual shops/businesses) £500.00 .....and during my recent near fortnight stay in the village I saw nothing about funding for memorial location Chri...

It is numbers time again folks. 100 days have passed since Bluebird K7 went on to the surface of Loch Fad on the Isle of Bute for crew training. Yes, one hundred days! I am not sure which Isle has "limited access" from the last posting - is that the British Isles post Brexit or the area known as the...

Should anyone thrust a few pence at me it does not go towards my travel, food or lodging costs. That money is for the work on ...

I do not know where you get your information from Jett or who you talk to either in the family or the village. You could come and talk to me in an unpatronising way and learn how the history of running K7 came about some years before the foundations of the Bluebird Wing were laid down. All I have do...

Well done Bill, we now can read diary entries on the Bluebird Forum! What would be the situation if I had not told Bill that you can't just rock up and run a boat on Coniston Water? What if he had not challenged me to come up with a solution - which was a Bye Law specific to the Proving Trial. Would...

What was the 'Think Tank' in Birmingham has the Cobb driven Railton, which of course was the first 400mph timed vehicle. With the closure of the Motor Boat museum at Pitsea the only other water record craft may appear in the Windermere Steam Boat museum when it re-opens. Whilst only available for pr...
