The fact that the Campbell Family Trust gifted it to the Ruskin when it was willed to Villa, and should rightfully be owned by Leo Villa's Estate, casts quite ...

I hope that those who study the subject of speed history learn from this story and we will see it applied to a subject close to enthusiasts hearts. Have no fear, Malcolm. 'Diver Bill Smith' is about to return - gulp! :lol: I was able to watch a wreck diving programme (probably about 2004) on the bo...
