What a week!
It has been an honour and a privilege to witness history been made. We've had some fantastic people on board making it an extra special occasion.
A huge thank you to Bluebird K7 - The Festival and David Warby and the whole team at Spirit of Australia 2 - The Fastest Team on Water and everyone else involved in making it happen.

Great to see Bluebird K3 out on the Lake today

Although K7 didn't run today it was great to see Sir Malcom Campbell's Bluebird K3 on the Lake.

It was a fantastic experience to hear her 27L Rolls Royce Meteor V12 Engine come to life! (This is the non-supercharged variant of the Merlin engine)

Incredible to see Bluebird K7 return to Coniston Water for the first time in 59 years.
A very special day watching history being made!
