Abstract :
There´s an iconic clip of grainy black-and-white footage shot on 4 January 1967 that, once seen, is not easily forgotten. It shows the Bluebird K7 jet-powered hydroplane??s final moments as it breaks up on Coniston Water. Its driver, Donald Campbell, who already held several previous water speed records (WSR), was `under pressure?? to push past the elusive 300mph barrier. The attempt proved fatal for Campbell, whose last words were: ??I??m getting a lot of bloody row in here?? I can??t see anything?? I??ve got the bows out?? I??m going.??
