Popular Post hedgerley Posted January 17, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Well that was a nice surprise. Not a programme I normally pay much attention to but sure enough, Russell Carr appearing on tonight's Antique Roadshow. His Dad was part of the team putting Malcom Campbell's Bluebird back together after it sank on Lake Mead in the US testing. He was based at Nellis air force base and Campbell invited him to join the team as reserve test driver. Russell has some great memorabilia from then, including Campbell's overalls and helmet and stacks of photos. A fascinating and very personal story. Worth catching up with on iPlayer if you get the chance. And no mention of his current role as Head of Design........ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bingoking Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 The Episode was repeated last Sunday 24th July. I was watching and thought "I recognise that guy" and it was when I saw the Type 1 watch on his wrist and rewound to get his Dad's name that the penny dropped.
