On the morning of January 4, 1967, Donald Campbell made his attempt to break 300mph on water. His first run made 297 mph, and on the return run, Bluebird K7 entered the measured kilometre at 328.12mph; shortly afterwards he crashed and perished. This glove, recovered in 1997, is testament to the violence of the shattering impact of the crash. Campbell is the only person to hold speed records for both land and water in the same year, 1964.
