Bluebird 1925 speed Record
« on: July 21, 2015, 20:11:16 »
It is 90 years  since Malcolm Campbell broke the world speed record at Pendine Beach in Wales, UK

We went today for it's celebration run - along with the Napier railton - both quite noisy.

There was a good turnout, cars parked 3 & 4 deep along the beach, protected from the "track" by a length of rope !

They had to keep the speed down (Elf & Safety, I suspect)

Yes Naj, 4 seasons in 2 hours, it is July and mid summer ! and an ice cream van was in attendance.

Keep well
