Probably the oldest thing in my archive. This documentary aired in 1968, a year after Donald Campbell’s water speed record attempt that claimed his life.
The documentary discusses Campbell’s precious achievement & the build-up to what would be his final moments.
I found this on a bootleg DVD that my mother purchased off eBay years ago. It also contained a copy of the 1988 drama “Across the Lake” which stars Anthony Hopkins as Donald Campbell.
Update: My university has a higher quality copy of the film likely on 16mm film, I, unfortunately, do not know how to digitally archive film however I've been discussing with a tutor the possibility of it.
