Trying to take a broader view, of the whole current problem. Like any successful negotiation, there would need to be roughly equal 'wins' and 'losses' on both sides. Similar to buying a 2nd hand car - meeting somewhere in the middle. Gina would need to move toward the BBP, in some way - as would the...

The question I get asked most days is how did Gina get from lapping up the adulation on Bute and the 'she's too young to sit in a crusty old museum' thing to the 4th January 2020 suicide speech. That's one hell of a turnaround. Would be interesting to hear that one answered truthfully. IMO, its obv...

The door is very much open. It's not open to, weigh over 20 years of your lives and go home empty handed, but if the phone rings tomorrow to say, hey guys we'd like to display the boat some of the time, how do we get started? we'd be quite happy to work out a plan with them.

Trustees - please pick up the phone and give Bill a call.

Hear Hear. Please - Ruskin Museum - save everyone involved, on both sides, the costs of legal action. Please....!

Dare I ask.... yes....

Is there any news on the legal negotiations, between the BBP and the Ruskin Museum, yet.....?

One day later, on 5th January 1967, pictures of the Bluebird jet boat, K7, were all over all the morning newspapers..... Here are the front pages of the Express and the Mirror, from 5th Jan'67 - Donald-Campbell-Bluebird-Crash-Daily-Express-Newspaper-Jan copy.jpg Daily-Mirror-newspaper-5-January-196...
