Looking at Bluebird memorabilia and found a song performed at the 50th anniversary gala by Scott McDougall. Fitting to play it again at the 60th anniversary of Donald Campbell's amazing achievement at Dumbleyung to complete the land and water speed double record in 1964.

A slideshow of Donald Campbell and Bluebird photos from the 50th anniversary in 2014. A fitting time to replay them at the 60th anniversary. A big thank you for all who contributed and made them available to Dumbleyung. They are historic photos from a time when photos were few and far between.
