it crashed and sank on coniston water in the lake district in 1967 killing the pilot, donald campbell and sunshine for much of england and wales. a different story for northern ireland and scotland. here more cloud and also outbreaks of rain continuing to work their way northwards across scotland through this evening and overnight. elsewhere, it's a dry night and clearer skies for england but wales. not quite as warm and muggy as the nightjust gone. lows between 11 and 16 celsius. high pressure in charge of the weather tomorrow. so for most it is a dry day. again, the lion's share of the sunshine will be across england and wales. still more cloud from northern ireland and scotland. but here it a few brighter or sunnier breaks coming through at times. still this range of temperatures in the high teens in scotland, 21 celsius for northern ireland and getting close to 30 celsius across east anglia and south—east england. as we start the new working week, high pressure keeps things dry and settled for england and wales. still some high temperatures here but further north and west, a front

it‘s more than 50 years since the hydroplane bluebird crashed on coniston water during an attempt to for some observers back in cumbria, this was a bittersweet occasion. because it was here at coniston where donald campbell had broken four world water speed records and died trying to set a fifth, that everyone had expected this first new and very symbolic jet powered run to take place. the bluebird team of volunteers led by bill smith has spent more than a decade painstakingly restoring her. but he couldn‘t agree with the authorities on the terms of running bluebird on coniston. loch fad on the isle of bute had that honour instead. but at five miles long, coniston is much bigger and busier. we‘ve changed the bylaws to allow bluebird to run on coniston but we need a safety plan submitting to us to make sure it happens in a safe manner. anyone who can get to water can use it. sailing craft, ferries, power boaters. if we didn‘t manage that, it would be a bit like running an f1 car through a market town on a saturday afternoon. the bluebird project believes safety measures are at least as
