You can see from the scans of what appears to be a 'Declaration of Trust' dated the 16th of October 2001, that the original Trustees of the MCHT were: 

1. Peter John Hulme, New Barn, Tokens Farm, Loxwood, West Sussex. 

2. Malcolm Brian Hulme, 17 Norman Avenue, Twickenham, Middlesex. 

3. Donald Charles Wales, 11 Weston Avenue, Addlestone, Surrey, KT15 1UW. 

4. Georgina Campbell, Birkby Grange Farm, Carr Lane, Thorner, Leeds, LS14 3HG. 

5. Jean Dorothy Wales, Orchard Lodge, Oakhurst Lane, Loxwood, West Sussex. 

It is also clear that: Antoinette Marie Bern-Campbell of Lake View Lodge, 280 Donner Drive (better known as Tonia Bern) of Crestline CA 92325, was agreeable to the transfer of ownership of the recently salvaged 'Bluebird K7,' brought to the surface of Lake Coniston by Bill Smith - now the subject of The Bluebird (restoration) Project.

Most of Sir Malcolm's racing cars and boats are not in the ownership of this organization, but in the hands of private individuals and collections, where care and attention is lavished by persons not related to one of Britain's finest sporting characters, for which the MCHT can be grateful:

a) The K3 is owned by Karl Faulkes-Halbard and housed at the Filching Manor Motor Museum in Sussex. 

b) The Rolls Royce Blue Bird is owned and displayed by a museum in the US (Daytona). 

c) The Blue Bird yachts of Sir Malcolm are also privately owned and cared for.

d) As are the Bentleys, Rolls Royce and other cars at one time owned by the speed ace.

The same appears to be true of the effects of Donald Campbell. The CN7 belongs to the Science Museum (on permanent loan to the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu in Brockenhurst, Hampshire SO42 7ZN, and the K7 is up North being restored, even though it would possibly be worth more to the nation preserved as it was recovered from the lake bed at Coniston Waters. For some reason those in a position to influence the destiny of what was once dubbed "the blue lobster" would prefer to put a gloss on events and turn back the clock.

That said, there must be other memorabilia that the MCHT keep for posterity for the nation and we would like to learn more about that. We would imagine that this Trust intend to buy up any memorabilia at auctions and the like - possibly to begin a Museum or other exhibition of their own. This 'Trust' does not appear to have their own website where (presumably) such information could be shared. We are sure that fans of Sir Malcolm and Donald Campbell would want to see such a site in the future.

BLUEBIRD CN7 NOSE PANEL - PERFORMANCE CAR GUIDE 2013

The National Motor Museum at Beaulieu has become the proud custodian of the original front nose panel from Donald Campbell’s famous World Land Speed Record Breaker, the Bluebird CN7.

The Malcolm Campbell Heritage Trust has offered the item on loan to the museum following its donation to the Trust by Stadco Ltd Coventry, formerly Motor Panels Ltd – the original manufacturing company that worked on the CN7.

In a presentation in the museum, in front of the Bluebird CN7 itself, two nephews of Donald Campbell, Don Wales and Peter Hulme, handed the panel over to the Chief Executive of the National Motor Museum Trust (NMMT), Russell Bowman. Two representatives from Stadco, Paul Jaggers and Neil Holloway, were also present to witness the handover.

The panel, displaying the Union Jack and US flags alongside the Bluebird insignia, is the original nose panel from the Bluebird CN7, damaged during the world’s fastest ever survived car crash at the Bonneville Salt Flats in 1960 in a land speed attempt prior to Donald Campbell’s 403.1mph record set in the car in 1964 at Lake Eyre, Australia.

Following the crash, the CN7 returned to Motor Panels for a redesign, including the addition of a tail fin to stabilise the vehicle at speed, and during the repairs the panel was removed and replaced. The old, damaged nose panel spent the next 50 years in various places on the Coventry site at Stadco before its recent donation to the Malcolm Campbell Heritage Trust.

Since receiving Stadco’s donation, the Malcolm Campbell Heritage Trust has loaned the panel to the National Motor Museum, which has housed the Bluebird CN7 since the late 1960s, for a brand new Land Speed Record Breakers display.

Don Wales, nephew of Donald Campbell, said: “We are very grateful to Stadco for returning this special panel to the family. It is an iconic piece of land speed motoring history and we are delighted to be able to loan it to Beaulieu for the new Land Speed Record Breakers display being unveiled next year.”

Expected to launch in Spring 2014, the museum’s new display will feature four iconic World Land Speed Record cars, including the Bluebird CN7, Sir Malcolm Campbell’s Blue Bird 350hp, Major Henry Segrave’s Sunbeam 1000hp and Golden Arrow, accompanied by new high definition images and archive film footage.

The panel will join a number of other rare land speed artifacts that will be showcased alongside the record breakers themselves.

NMMT Chief Executive, Russell Bowman, said: “We are delighted that visitors to Beaulieu will be able to see the original panel alongside the car itself, helping us to illustrate the determination exhibited by Donald Campbell and his team to overcome major setbacks and achieve his 1964 record. We are very grateful to Stadco and the Campbell Family for this loan.”

The Malcolm Campbell Heritage Trust is (according to Donald Wales) a body set up by family members in the 2000s to seek to preserve what they may of Sir Malcolm. Exactly what they are seeking to put into trust is not known. We do not know if there is a collection or museum that is operated by this trust, what they own and don't own. If you have any information of MCHT projects please let us know.
