    Today for the first time since 1938 Sir Malcolm Campbell's first record breaking bluebird K3 hit the water under her own power,the first run was at idle then 1200 rpm and then getting up on the plane at 1300 rpm, she has been restored over the last 24 years and now is back to her former glory, this is from the days of no technology everything is handmade truly an amazing boat.

    It could be because I didn't post any link :D:D:D A few friends from the classic motor boat association were invited to help with the launch and passed on the photos.
    Here is a little clip of what the V12 sounds like:D

    Looks like the second run didn't go so well but they are getting there, just goes to show the power in that engine http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-19960892
