I was there when they brought her back to coniston earlier this year.

Great film- but misquote at the end… it was George Mallory who said “because it is there”’regarding Everest.

Ageless piece of film. Superb. And thanks for putting this up

This is marvelous thankyou.

And surely that was the time to quit

All you millenniums out there take note, Donald Campbell was probably the last great British hero, this guy had some bottle.

True Legend, this type of English man, is what made England Great, sadly no more,

Does anyone know how you can obtain any of the footage from the Lake Bonney attempt or who owns the rights.

Amazing film, never have I seen this footage before of the Bluebird.

Actually makes you realise how brave Campbell was. He understood the risks, and was a careful man. Sheer naked courage, is what this film says to me, oh, and some great product placement from Wills tobacco who sponsored the film, showing Campbell and team smoking Craven "A" cancer sticks.

Thanks uploader, this is priceless.

What incredible stupid people...playing with forces they are not mentally equipped to understand. ...all in the vain attempt to fill what must be completely empty lives...I mean this is Circus stuff Corn-ball daredevil rubbish designed to appeal to the morons out there, and dumb as stump country folk.

magic A great fan of Donald Campbell and sadly saw his demise!!! You should see 'across the lake' a BBC production of the last few weeks of campbells life !!!

That's some of the best footage of K7 I have ever seen, it gives you a good idea of how fast she really was, most film reels of the day make her look slow and lethargic. As bad as the weather was for Campbell Australia was good to in what he achieved.

Great to see Barmera townsfolk and Lake Bonney with so much water

Some great footage.
