Bluebird record-breaking vehicles

Blue Bird or Bluebird is the name of various cars and boats used by Sir Malcolm Campbell, his son Donald and other family members to set land and water speed records.

Malcolm Campbell had a succession of Darracq racing cars in the 1920s, which in the fashion of the day he had named 'Flapper I' , 'Flapper II' and 'Flapper III' .

The hydroplane K4 began life as Malcolm's "Blue Bird", but when Donald decided to use her in 1949, after his father's death, he renamed her "Bluebird".

He was also the test driver for the British Steam Car Inspiration,[14] which broke the steam-powered land speed record.

He was also the driver for Project Runningblade,[15] setting the world land speed record for a lawnmower.
