The paragraph you have restored bears little relevance to the topic. It is an opinion piece well pre-dating the events, and is of more relevance to a page on Bill Smith or on the Ruskin Museum rather than a page on Bluebird. That comment could also be applied to most of what has recently been added. The page is clearly becoming a battle-ground between warring factions. I suggest the page could usefully be split so that the original undisputed information up to and including the accident which claimed Donald Campbell's life is retained with a small final paragraph stating the wreck was recovered, restored and is displayed at Ruskin, and the rest is removed for possible inclusion in a page on Bill Smith if such is considered suitable. <a href="/wiki/User:Sooty655" title="User:Sooty655">Sooty655</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Sooty655" title="User talk:Sooty655">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Andy_Dingley#c-Sooty655-20241005090800-Bluebird_K7" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">09:08, 5 October 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Sooty655-20241005090800-Bluebird_K7"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241005090800","author":"Sooty655","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Sooty655-20241005090800-Bluebird_K7","replies":["c-Andy_Dingley-20241005100200-Sooty655-20241005090800"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Sooty655-20241005090800-Bluebird_K7"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Andy_Dingley-20241005100200-Sooty655-20241005090800"></span>See <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Edit_warring#User:80.3.122.252_reported_by_User:Andy_Dingley_(Result:_Blocked_one_month)" title="Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring">WP:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:80.3.122.252 reported by User:Andy Dingley (Result: Blocked one month)</a></dd> <dd>Whatever the 'ridiculous' aspect of the content, that is 6RR edit warring.</dd> <dd>Now maybe the paragraph does indeed have little relevance to the topic.

But I don't understand antipathy to him from someone involved in a Vulcan preservation project? Whether he's a 'sonar search expert' or not, he achieved <i>amazing</i> results with the K7 rebuild.
