THE widow of Donald Campbell - who was killed at high speed on a Cumbrian lake - claimed victory yesterday in a six-month legal dispute over the ownership of Bluebrid, the boat in which he died.
A former business associate of Campbell, Paul Foulkes-Halbard, had claimed he had acquired ownership of the boat through the course of business dealings.
A consent order lodged at the High Court in London yesterday declared Tonia Bern-Campbell and the executors of Campbell's will as the rightful owners.
It is the family's intention that the boat will be displayed at the Ruskin Museum, near Coniston, Cumbria
