In this special episode, join me, Mark Stone, as we celebrate the 70th anniversary of the iconic Bluebird K7 at Salmesbury Hall, where this engineering marvel was first built. I’m joined by a host of distinguished guests, including Gina Campbell, who reflects on the legacy of Bluebird and her family's historic achievements.

We'll explore the restoration journey of the jet-powered hydrofoil and discuss its future, all while honouring its profound impact on the Campbell family and beyond. Hear from key figures like Brian Heaston, Don Wales, Tracy Hodgson, and more as we delve into the historical significance of Bluebird K7 and the ongoing efforts to preserve its incredible story for generations to come.
