Popular Post hedgerley 451 Posted January 17 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 17 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 post Share on other sites
