Cool.

Out Of This World by Marillion
Album: Afraid Of Sunlight
Date: 1995
[IMG]This song was written about Donald Campbell, a British man who broke his own water speed record repeatedly. In 1967 Donald lost control of his boat, the Bluebird K7 and both the boat and the man were lost to the lake After hearing this song, a man named Bill Smith was inspired to raise the wreckage of the Bluebird. Steve Hogarth and Steve Rothery of Marillion were on hand for the raising on May 8, 2001. (thanks, Andy - Eatontown, NJ)[/IMG]

Marillon Film
The Marillon film gave me a deeper appreciation for how Bluebird was a real boat and not just some waterborne missile.
