| The Bluebird Team, led by Bill Smith used sophisticated
sonar to reveal the position of the wreck. |

It was 10.30 before we saw Bluebird's tail fin poking up between the flotation bags (© Graham Beech) |
|
It then had to be moved gently into position above a trailer submerged in the lake. |

The most remarkable thing was that the paintwork was still emerald blue
after all these years. |
