Active support at Coniston

[malcolm uk]

Before getting carried away with power on water, please remember that the bye law change only applies to Donald Campbells Bluebird K7. So ten mph it will be ......

Support craft will be needed, but for pilot safety we may have to go Osprey Rescue 'drop front', as they do at Records week. All offers are noted and the operations team will be in contact as we roll out our full plans to the LDNPA and the other interested parties. As always we will select the best pieces of equipment to do a particular job. I will defer to Bill on divers.

Whatever we have available it is to be hoped that it will be unused up to the time when Bluebird is returned to the Ruskin extension after a leathering down and draining of fluids.

I'm sure after it's all over and done and everyone is 'happy' there will be even more draining of fluids

yes! best give the black bull some notice so they can get a big brew of "bluebird" on the old girls return to the lake

Hi Malcolm,
Add my name to the growing list of volunteers that are prepared to help out. I am simply an enthusiast, but am an enthusiastic enthusiast! Anything that needs doing I will be prepared to do.

regards, Bill.

I would like to put myself forward as a volunteer and am able to turn my hand to most things.

Tea, coffee, breadmaking...

Computers are my profession. Can almost certainly get hold of hardware and infrastructure bits if required. Happy to marshall, sweep, mop, erect tents. Well anything you like really. Fair amount of outdoor experience (camping etc).

I have been up and down to Windemere lately as my son works at Lakeside YMCA outdoor centre, so I know the way as I pop along to Coniston every time I come up.

Cheers,

Simon Darby

Been lurking, peeking and generally loitering around the Bluebird project for many's a year - and whilst I cannot pretend that I could differentiate between an Orpheus and an Orofice, I would like to offer my services as er...well anything really. My brew-making, brushwork and 'standing-around-looking-all-official' -ability qualifications are second to none. Seriously, would love to help in any way I can with this wonderful project.
