YIKES! IT WORKS! There we go , Bill Smith’s restored Bluebird floats, starts, drives, AND PLANES! fantastic. The helm authority is a bit lacking at taxi speed but enough to point, then into the throttle, through transition and ACCELERATE LIKE A MONSTER. no more today but.....

Just waiting for the fuel then going for a couple of runs using a lot more of the loch. looking to plane her at a ‘comfortable ‘ speed and learn how long she skates on once off the power, which i don’t think will be long, turn round for a return run, settle then go again...

Grrrrr. it didn’t light! no engine and now low start air after two no starts. we cannot hear the igniters so its now already back on the shore covers off, BLOWN FUSE! gunna have another go with the last of the air...

Feast your eyes on these iconic British classics. 🇬🇧
