I am a novice filming my pass times and adventures and this is just a mixed bag of the things I enjoy doing, hopefully you will find something you like. Fishing, scuba diving, short oval racing, and anything else I think worth recording.
Fished there in the 90s. Going back there this weekend, what's the bed of the pit like? It was silty back in the day I'm thinking not much has changed.
Best quality copy of this film I have seen. The subject is of particular interest to me & Coniston is a place of pilgrimage & happy personal memories, intertwined with the Campbell story. Thank you.

This is an excellent telling of the tragic story of Donald Campbell. a very brave man, who took on the challenge despite his fears, that is what makes a real hero.
This film was cast so very well, if you find photos of Leo on here and compare the looks of the guy that played him in this brilliant film. Sir Anthony Hopkins was I think the only actor that could have played the part Of Donald, long before the days of The World's Fastest Indian.
The Bluebird car and speedboat certainly were very exciting looking machines. But I wouldn't go as far as to call these chaps that risked their necks for records "heroes". What they did was comparable to barnstomers or F 1 pilots or even climbing on the highest mountain top in the world. Dangerous risk taking exploits, high entertainment value, but not really an important added value to mankind. A fireman who saves a crying kiddie in a fire while risking his life, special forces knocking out terrorists who have kidnapped the passengers of a plane etc., now they are heroes. Both categories certainly are "brave" men and today women, but there is nevertheless a clear distinction between them. Most heroes also remain in the shadows, don't become legendary icons like the more dashing barnstormers and record breakers.
Why was the actress playing Tonia wearing a ridiculous whig or was her hair done in the way she wears it, if the pictures of how she looked in the 1960's show her having much shorter hair, not a kind of miniature haystack ?
I have always wondered if he had refueled as planned, whether the extra weight of the fuel would have made Bluebird more stable and avoided the accident. Sad loss.
I’ve always thought that. I think he avoided refuelling to make the boat lighter on the return run and make up the plus 3 mph needed. Racing drivers made it a practise in the old days to achieve faster qualifying tomes
