Re: Electric Landspeed Record Attempt
I know we are talking about the British record here, but here is a link to the current Electric World Land Speed Record Holder http://www.dwra.net/settingrecords.htm I would think that Don's Bluebird Electric record will be under threat very soon if this is possible over the pond. :cry: Am I right i...

Re: A Picture paints a thousand words....
Not meaning to distract from this thread being called "looking back in time -Archive Bluebird PHOTOS" Now here's a curve ball for you. The system wasn't gravity at all fed. Fuel was siphoned from the main tank into a swirl pot with its own boost pump and from there into a second, auxilliar...

Re: Test Poll- Favourite Donald Campbell Book
I voted for ,The Bluebird years/ With Campbell at Coniston, Great book written with a fresh memory of how the events all played out, I think likely to be the most truthful and un squewd by timepassing and media myth. The other book not listed is the fantastic, Leo Villa's Bluebird Album by David de ...
