The World Land Speed Record

on BBC Two England

Those 40 Glorious Years
Raymond Baxter takes a nostalgic took back to the days when Campbell, Cobb and Segrave were national heroes, to the days when Britons held the world's land speed record almost unchallenged. Nonagenarian Sammy Davis, a former motor racer and journalist, recalls those heroes. He was at school with Sir Malcolm Campbell - and Campbell's daughter Jean Wales has more personal memories of her brother Donald.
