I think I saw that a few months ago. Pretty cool show. Was that the show where the old guy crashed and burned setting the record and they could not find him for 40 years? Then some guy decided to go down and find the boat. Turns out they located the boat and recovered it 40+ years later. I think he was down there with it. Cool show if that was the one. Lots of good retro footage.

I didn't see anything that made reference to a discovery of any boats or bodies. The majority of the wrecks resulted in no bodies found, and they presumed that the bodies disinigrated....

Old Lavey,
You're thinking of Donald Campbell who died on his backup run trying to set the water record in 1967 (I think) Ken Warby, the current record holder is supposed to be putting together an attempt to beat his own record. Another Englishman is also trying and plans to do it on the same lake Campbell perished on. Check out English attempt (http://www.quicksilver-wsr.co.uk/)
