bluebird a tribute to donald

jim56

the bluebird is returning to her home again once more
back to the lakes of coniston where she used to soar
breaking  land speed records donald campbell at the helm
the beauty of the bluebird she would over whelm

now she is returning from her watery grave
restored  again once more her memory she will save
people they can see her with her new restore
has donald campbells bluebird returns home again once more

tribute to land speed breaker donald campbell

whos boat crashed on coniston lake and rebuilt

killing donald.   the was boat was found and rebuilt

now in coniston musuem  loved by many

born23 march  1921

died 4th jan 1967 r.i.p donald

                    museum where boat is just 3 mile away from me such a tragedy of a great man
                    i remember the day it happened he will be in the history books for ever and not forgotten
                    his daughter Gina was at ceremony in coniston no doubt someone else will try break records
                    just as he did been canoeing there a long time ago great fun
                    thanks for always lovely comment hope you have a great new year with lots of good things ahead
