Bluebird K7 is a jet engined hydroplane in which Britain's Donald Campbell set seven world water speed records between 1955 and 1967. K7 was the first successful jet-powered hydroplane, and was considered revolutionary when launched in January 1955. Campbell and K7 were responsible for adding almost 100 miles per hour to the water speed record, taking it from existing mark of 178 miles per hour to just over 276 miles per hour.

Campbell was a legend.
A crazy fucking lunatic, but a legend. And ended up like crazy fucking lunatic legends generally end up. But I salute him. And I’m not even British.
Is that thing the right way up?
