What an incredible craft, a real thing of beauty, and a very fitting video. Donald Campbell was without doubt, one of the bravest men to have ever lived. I often think to myself, imagine travelling at 300mph in a super car, that would be very scary,, Donald Campbell did these speeds skimming across water in the K7 in the sixties. I just cannot imagine what guts and bravery it must of taken to sit in this craft at that speed, with lack of clear vision and buffering. The word legend doesn't even close. Total respect to a true British legend. I salute you. RIP D Campbell. 🙏🙏🙏

It always strikes me that these aircraft, once flown by kids with an average age of 22 years, are now flown by old men. When I see sports cars on the road they're invariably driven by old men. Vintage F1 racing cars... own by old men - only the young drive the latest F1 cars - but in 40 odd years they'll have an old man behind the wheel driving them around on display shows. I understand these aircraft are tricky and incredibly rare and so experience and temperament comes with age. I get that. It's just all fast, adrenalin soaked machines will eventually become the ride of old men. Just an observation - down get your knickers in a twist.

It’s a bit like ripping the engine of a flight worthy Spitfire and using it as a static display. Absolutely bonkers. Bill and the team did a wonderful job rebuilding the wreck and it must be heartbreaking to see it now effectively being a static display. A sad reflection on people who can’t agree to work together for a common goal.

Love it. No annoying music, no commentary, no speeches, only the sound of a merlin engine fighter prop. What an amazing vintage aircraft. Also the aircraft saved UK.

he idiots at Ruskin Museum need to resign they have destroyed the memory of Donald Cam[bell to secure a money making venture. Sad Sad Day to mothball a fabulous peice of english engineering just so they could have a static display to charge people to see.

Wonderful restoration, they got to run it, and now it resides where it should be. This is Campbell's boat, his legacy, and doesn't need to run anymore.

@@lewiscollins1045- yes the engine deserves proper technical support. Question is; the Ruskin have an engine; as seen lurking in the background of the last frames of this video. Is this set dressing or is it intended to be fitted to the boat and run? Are the Ruskin really so bloody minded as to effectively sack Bill and team and as you say, take full possession?

Probably because her museum caretakers are not practically minded people. The cockpit canopy is missing so any rain during the journey would land in the cockpit. Seems a bit daft, considering K7 is basically irreplaceable

@@lewiscollins1045- Bill Smith and team used as much original material as they had available. So k7 is about as ‘original’ as she could be without her being a replica of herself. Seems a bit sloppy to plonk her on a lorry, minus the windscreen and canopy, toss a single rope across, and parade her cross country like she was triumphantly being displayed as a trophy ‘Look, *WE’VE got her away from Bill Smith!!’. I remain dubious about the altruism of the intent of the museum.
