Exactly 50 years ago today Donald Campbell died whilst trying to break the world speed record on Coniston Water. One of the great heroes on my young days, I can still vividly remember the black and white TV pictures of Bluebird overturning off the water in that final crash. His body was not recovered until many years later and he now lies in rest in the little cemetery in Coniston village. A true British hero.
