A popular seaside resort
with a beach that stretches for five miles,
Pendine has gone down in motoring history as
the place where Malcolm Campbell set a land
speed record in ‘Blue Bird’ in 1927. Earlier
the flat stretch of sand had witnessed the
death of another speed king, J.G. Parry-Jones,
in his 27-litre car called ‘Babs’. His vehicle
was eventually dug out of the sands in 1969
and a restored version of this car can be seen
at Pendine’s Museum of Speed. In 1933 Amy
Johnson set out from here in her attempt to
fly to America. |
