Donald Campbell's restored Bluebird set for Scotland run

BBC Scotland They're going to trial it in Scotland first so if it crashes they can blame the SNP!

Been following that since i was 12, I remember the crash, I watched the divers at Torver looking for him, I watched them recover the wreck and then his remains, I spent hours on the jetty trying to get any info going, I think it was the Telegraph that was the sponsor and leaked the story early to sell papers
I went to his funeral and i will go watch Bluebird on Coniston water again, not many hero's or nutters left, maybe Guy Martin,

Restored?? Trigger's broom springs to mind

Yeah, they're talking about "restoring" the Charles Rennie Macintosh Art School in Glasgow that burned to the ground. Restore my arse, it'll be a completely new building!

The main part of the body looked ok it was the nose that was trashed, but every single rivet would be drilled out and the panel straightened then all put back together
I believe they will get carried away with the speed trials and go faster and faster until the next man crashes it, I mean how could you not

was thinking exactly the same thing Reg. You would have to see how far you could push it. Human nature innit.

It was a bit trashed...

Nah bit of T.cut sort that out, thats Bill Smith it took over his life blood swet and tears then he got a bollocking for parading himself on it, It would be still there if it wasnt for him, 

Well, it's floating! FB Video

Big day for Bill after a long journey
see Gina was there with a Mr Whoppit  copy, she sold the real one years ago,
Also reported today is that 90% of Bluebird was salvaged  

I'm surprised she sold Mr. Whoppit! Must have needed the dosh I suppose...

Made a living marrying rich blokes then dumping them, so a puppet wont bother her, She lives not far away from here and plays golf with her mates,
at her dads funeral she had a pink suit on with mini skirt showing her arse , Mw Whoppit was poking out of her hand bag, that was the last time i saw the real one, her bloke at the time was holding the brolly over her like his life depended on it, I remember thinking what the Feck
Right thats the demolition job on her complete 

On the Cal-Mac ferry from Wemyss Bay to Isle of Bute...

Imagine that at 300mph on water  You've got to be barking mad

Waiting on it's public arriving...

I'll be at Coniston to see it arrive, Dont know if it will be at Pier Cottage

They are draining lake coniston to make campbell soups

Hope some Mad fecker lets it loose

Latest piccies I could find...

Her dress sense is a bit suspect
