The Ruskin Museum Coniston BLUE BIRD

we visit Donald Campbells Bluebird after it was bought from the depths of lake Coniston and restored , there was a quiet respectful silence in the museum and Bluebird was an amazing sight

Hi Mike an engineer Bill Smith and his team restored the Bluebird there's been a legal wrangle over it and running it on the lake again

[@SetForAdventures]

Such a icon of both Britain 🇬🇧 and the Lakes
The K7 being restored is a great memorial to D Campbell
Great tour Glyn

That was some terrible crash, Glyn and Carol. Enjoyed seeing the restored Bluebird and enjoyed the tour. Can't say we enjoyed the crash, but Mr. Campbell would have been well aware of the danger! Thanks for bringing us along.

[@glyn829]

Hi Dave and Kathy thanks for coming along Donald and his father Malcolm held many speed records land and water for many years there's been many replica Bluebirds but looking at the original is quite something else

[@dayadventureswithgasper]

Such a nice museum. Lots of vintage items displayed so nicely. Great views of the restored K7. So interesting to see the bluebird. Thanks for sharing with us Glyn. Great tour. Have a nice weekend.

[@glyn829]

Hi Gasper and thanks very much for watching 👍 it's quite a sight amazing restoration

[@CraigKoppel]

Interesting story of Donald Campbell. They really did an amazing job at restoring the boat. I’m surprised it stayed at the bottom of the lake for so long. I guess they couldn’t get it because it was too deep. 👍27

[@glyn829]

Hi Craig the lake is very deep and I think it was left as a little respect to him they also recovered his body and he as a modest memorial in the local church yard

It's good that Blubird has been restored, so everyone can see and appreciate the dangers of water speed records.

[@glyn829]

It's an amazing thing to see Alice there's a sort of respectful silence around Bluebird

[@inbetween-days]

Hi guys thanks so much for watching it's quite something to see

[@hvee4]

That’s a fantastic museum, great to see the Bluebird restored… I know there was a dispute between the family and the restoration company, not sure if that ever got resolved but it looks amazing 👍🏻

[@glyn829]

It's quite something to see it was whisper quite in there if you ever get the chance it's well worth the visit

Thanks 🙏

[@apcherrys7]

Good to see it - just a shame it's not presented in an authentic configuration - for example it's missing the spray baffles around the intake. Was there any information or details on the runs they have planned for next year? I would have expected the museum to be showing some engine test runs at the very least.

[@ldnwholesale8552]

The original Orpheus engine acted as a sacraficial annode for the rest of the boat. When I was there in 17 there was just a few parts laid out on a 'floor plan' of the boat. The corroded engine was part of that. Good to see it complate again.
The controversy of A. Raising it, B. restoring it and C. running it again not withstanding.
There is or was a very decrepit Merlin lieing in the dirt just outside the door.

[@glyn829]

Very interesting thanks very much 👍
