The
Lakeland Motor Museum pays tribute to Sir Malcolm Campbell and son, Donald,
who captured 21 World land and water speed records for Great Britain.
Highlights include full size detailed replicas of the 1935 Bluebird car
the 1939 Bluebird boat - K4 and the famous Jet Hydroplane, Bluebird K7, in which Donald Campbell was
tragically killed attempting to break his own 4th January 1967. This exhibition uses scale models and photographs of the cars and boats used in their numerous record attempts. There's even a replica of Donald Campbell's lucky mascot, teddy bear, Mr Whoppit, together with continuous video detailing the lives, careers, failures and achievements of these childhood heroes. |
