SRC Merchandise - Remembering Donald Campbell Booklet
Donald Malcolm Campbell CBE was one of Britain’s greatest heroes and a speed record breaker whose achievements in that sphere can arguably not be bettered. This A5 50 page booklet was produced by the Speed Record Club around the 50th anniversary of his death; not to dwell on his dramatic end but as a tribute and to celebrate his life and achievements, particularly his time in Coniston in the 1950’s and 1966/67 when he set four of his seven world water speed records on the beautiful Coniston Water.
Using mostly previously unused material, this booklet features personal memories and reminiscences from Coniston villagers, from his team members, from distinguished authors and most importantly from family members including daughter Gina, who share their thoughts – often movingly – of the man who was a hero, a daredevil, a great British patriot, a father and an uncle.
We thank all those who have helped to compile this booklet through interviews, written work and images, who in doing so continue to perpetuate the memory of Donald Malcolm Campbell CBE, what he achieved and what he stood for, as a celebration of the indefatigable man and his team, which we hope is a fitting tribute.
