The situation just got worse, they are dissembling the K7 as we speak , this is such a sad tale of egos, Donald would not want to be associated with any of them I'm sure.

Forgive my ignorance but which K7 did I see in the Bluebird building at the Lakeland Motor museum yesterday?

Excuse mine too, the only K7 I know of is currently "being taken apart at the workshop in North Shields" as per the article, there could be others just like the fibre glass Spitfire gate guardians. Here we go they are full size replicas, all three of the Campbell exhibits. ps - we cross posted..

According to the website they are all replicas at the Motor Museum. Housed in its own unique building, our Campbell Bluebird Exhibition is a tribute to the racing career of Sir Malcolm and Donald Campbell. Highlights include full sized replicas of the 1935 Blue Bird car, 1939 Blue Bird Boat K4 and 1967 jet hydroplane Bluebird K7.

That’s hilarious. There wasn’t much reference to replicas at the museum but I suppose I should have been a bit more savvy. That might have been a fake steam train on the Haverthwaite as well!

Be happy in the fact that at least the replica you saw was a complete craft unlike the real deal which will appear as a heap of wreckage at the Ruskin on Coniston sadly.

Very sad.
I really was hoping to see the updated/refurbished craft on display. Better still, so see it out on the lake!

Yes Graham, I was really looking forward to seeing her in action on Coniston as per the agreement between the Campbell Trust and Ruskin..

Well good news K7 will fly on Coniston in 2026 and I can't wait I hope all the trials go well. A bit more news here from Ruskin Museum.
