The Bluebird Project

I wish I knew how much is original, and was it fitted with the Meteor engine etc...
I’m hoping to go for a look around and chat with Karl one day so I will find out more. Henley was not the right time or place fro detailed discussions.

Blue Bird K3 was in Henley in Thames as part of the traditional boat festival last weekend. The engine started fine for a warm up, but with delays due to “boats” on the course during the Sunday run the engine was stopped so no run was made.

Hopefully repeated or downloadable.

Found the program here:

And available for next 27 days.

Could not find it on TVs iplayer for some reason.

(Thanks for moving post)

Yes it seems to be a "Best of" program.

With all this technology we can't even watch a program from yesterday!

It looked like some good footage/images, but with no sound and only catching the end I really would like to see it.

Happy New Year to you all. Whilst sitting in my Doctors surgery this afternoon, 13.1.14, they had a TV showing Dickinsons real deal around 4.30 pm I was surprised to see a Bluebird logo, followed by a few minutes on K7 and the Campbell's. I can't find it on on-demand or catch up but I thought someon...

I have added a few photos of the car shown at Goodwood here:

They mentioned yesterday that there would be another rocket test this year, with runway tests next year.
I was impressed with all of the team yesterday.
