As a child I remember reading about Duncan Campbell's rocket-propelled speedboat Bluebird - which crashed and sunk on Coniston Water trying to break the world speed limit in 1967, killing Campbell.

And for a while I was absolutely obsessed with it. I don't know why, but something about the story, the shape of the boat, even its name just lit up all the synapses in my 9/10 year old brain. I went to the local library and tried to find everything I could about the boat and Campbell.

Fast-forward to now and I haven't thought of that for nearly half a century. But I do know that a few years ago they found the wreckage of the boat and recovered it ... and now it's been out on Coniston Water for the very first time since it sunk. And I can feel 50-year-old synapses starting to fire again ...

"Australian Dave Warby… is at the controls - with Campbell's teddy bear mascot Mr Whoppit with him in the cockpit."

So cool that birds don’t mind square shaped nesting shelters
