Matters of Moment, August 1964
AT LAST! Out in Australia, Donald Campbell has at long last broken the motor-car speed record, by a few m.p.h. His Bristol Proteus gas-turbine Bluebird is the first car officially…
Two corners later used to be another photographers’ dream BrOnchen. It means ‘Little Bridge’, although it was in fact a humpback bridge where we’d normally do a hop in the air, come back to earth and drive on until 1969 when Jo and I arrived in our ‘Flounders’ which took off until they were almost vertical. We hit the ground with the rear jacking points before falling forward onto the wheels. Needless to say we reverted to the older, rounder car for the race.
