The restored record-breaking craft will take to the water 'at a time to be agreed'.
Donald Campbell's boat, Bluebird K7, will run again on Coniston Water, the Ruskin Museum has announced at its homecoming press conference.
The hydroplane's wreckage was recovered in 2001 after its pilot was killed in a crash on Coniston Water in 1967.Museum bosses said: "We are happy to announce that the boat will run again on Coniston at a time to be agreed."Donald Campbell died on 4 January 1967 aged 45 when Bluebird flipped into the air and disintegrated as he attempted a water speed record on Coniston Water.
The museum had already announced its intention to get the craft running on the lake again, saying once it had Bluebird in its possession it would apply for permission to the Lake District National Park Authority. Mr Carroll said: "We have an engineering team in place to take the boat to the next stage on its journey."Miss Campbell said: "At last, I shall be able to fulfil my promise made to Coniston way back in 2001 that Bluebird would return to the village and people that my father held so dear."
