Gina, if you are reading this PLEASE pick up the phone to Novie and repair the damage done, it is an entirely separate matter to this other mess.

You know it makes sense !!

Yes, l'll second that.

What a complete and utter shame...

There are some fabulous pictures on this thread...! Many thanks to all. Attached (hopefully) is my own small contribution. This is a scan of an original Geoff Hallawell print (it has his name & address on the reverse - and is marked '6343/8A 4Jan'67), which I found on the internet some years ag...

Donald Campbell is known to have said “Donald and boat stay together.” Returning Bluebird to Coniston where Campbell is buried will ensure, as best we can, that those wishes are fulfilled. Indeed. He is known to have said it in Dumbelyung as folks tried to persuade him to leave for Blighty as a rec...

It's all very simple. The museum owns half and we own the other half so we give them 80% of the year to display her and we take her on tour for the other 20%.

During the start of Run 1, DMC comments that Air Pressure Low is on No, he didn't. There is no indication of starting air contents in the cockpit, only the small gauge visible at the side of the engine cover. Donald was commenting on a low pressure fuel indication, something Ted also reported on. O...

The LP pumps are of the centrifugal, submerged variety from the Gnat, manufactured by SPE and identical to those later used on the Harrier . In the event of a failure they have a door that lifts to ensure that fuel still flows. The Lucas piston pump would have to pull a little, something it's not r...

On the water brake issue, Neil's posting of the rare TTTv footage (DCBTFRA FB page, Jan. 16th 2017) and my subsequent comments regarding the soundtrack, might prove illuminating... Ah - the world's self-appointed greatest authority on the K7 accident. Please forgive my lack of illumination... Come ...

The most important is discipline in any venture of this sort. Lack of discipline? Example was making a second run 4 minutes after the end of the first. This whole project stems at the end of the day from that lack of discipline, for whatever reason it was made (I get such thoughts with HMRC letters...
