Yup, I remember this too. I was an impressionable lad when I saw the
Bluebird on display at the old David Jones store in Sydney. I collected
everything related to Cambell, and his death at the controls of the
(hydroplane) Bluebird effected me deeply. I never saw the boat, but the
car, still vivid in my memory, was awesome! Does anyone know where the
car is today?
