You are holding a fragment of that velocity, a physical connection to the moment Donald Campbell pushed the laws of physics to their absolute limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Biography of the Metal\u003c\/b\u003e Bluebird K7 was the world’s first successful jet-powered hydroplane, a masterpiece of British engineering designed by the Norris Brothers. Between 1955 and 1964, Campbell and K7 shattered the World Water Speed Record seven times, pushing the frontier of speed from 202 mph to a staggering 276 mph. This specific pin badge is a commemorative relic, crafted from an alloy of sterling silver blended with original aluminium reclaimed from Bluebird K7 during its meticulous restoration. After resting for four decades in the depths of Coniston Water, this metal has been recovered and reborn, carrying with it the history of the 1967 record attempt and the indomitable spirit of the \"Speed Ace\" himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Founder’s Note\u003c\/b\u003e When I first held the reclaimed sections of K7, I was struck by the weight of the legacy they carried. There is a specific soul to this metal, it isn't just aluminium; it is the skin of a legend that survived the most extreme environments on Earth. In our workshop, we have treated this material with the reverence it deserves, blending it with hallmarked sterling silver to create a finish that is both bright and enduring. You can feel the density and the precision of the casting; it is a piece of jewellery designed to be worn with pride by those who understand that history should be felt, not just seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHeritage Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Contains genuine reclaimed aluminium from the original Bluebird K7 hydroplane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaster Craftsmanship:\u003c\/b\u003e Cast in the UK using a bespoke alloy of sterling silver and record-breaking metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eOfficial Partnership:\u003c\/b\u003e Produced in exclusive collaboration with the Ruskin Museum and the Campbell Family Heritage Trust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eExquisite Detail:\u003c\/b\u003e Features the iconic Bluebird logo and K7 identifier in a hand-polished finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePresented for Gifting:\u003c\/b\u003e Supplied in a luxury Icarus Originals presentation box with a Certificate of Authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Hallmarked 925 Sterling Silver and reclaimed Bluebird K7 Aluminium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 25mm x 27mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e Approximately 8 grammes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFixing:\u003c\/b\u003e High-security butterfly clutch pin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/b\u003e Proudly designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Icarus Originals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56974750089599,"sku":"IC56","price":79.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/8388\/1087\/files\/Untitled_design_1.png?v=1783528039","url":"https:\/\/icarusoriginals.com\/products\/official-bluebird-k7-pin-badge","provider":"Icarus Originals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
