THE WHOLE STORY: includes the entire text of ‘With Campbell at Conistorn' — the classic contemporary account of Donald Campbell's attempt to take the world water—speed record past 300 mph. This gripping 1967 story is brought completely up—to-date with accounts of the recovery of Bluebird in March 2001 and the funeral of Donald Campbell just six months later — plus reports of the battle to establish ownership and the efforts to find a final resting place for Bluebird. Definitive research: the challenges that faced the designers of the record-breaking jet-boat: the methods developed to measure speed records; information on all of the world's record breakers — plus news of the super boats and their drivers that may raise the record still higher. Unique insights: reasons for the crash — by the designer of Bluebird. Ken Norris; the diving skills and technology deployed to locate both the wreckage of Bluebird and Donald Campbell's body. Homage to a hero: the books. paintings. Internet. web sites. museums and organisations that continue to celebrate the Campbell heritage.
