Phil Holt – “Donald Campbell – Across the Lake” – Apr 2017

Phil Holt provided an insight to the charismatic, daring, and brave character that was Donald Campbell; the only man to hold both the world land and water speed records in the same year.

Loved by 1950’s & 60’s Britain, what pushed him to that final fateful attempt at the world water speed record?

Phil also took a behind the scenes look, using clever reconstruction, at that fateful day in January 1967 on Coniston Water to find the cause of the crash and an update on the current recovery of both Bluebird K7 and Donald himself.
