Last words:
"... Full nose up ... Pitching a bit down here ... coming through our own wash ... er getting straightened up now on track ... rather closer to Peel Island ... and we're tramping like mad ... and er ... FULL POWER ... er tramping like hell OVER. I can't see much and the water's very bad indeed ... I'm galloping over the top ... and she's giving a hell of a bloody row in here ... I can't see anything ... I've got the bows out ... I'm going ... U-hh ..."

If Donald Campbell was still alive and a member of Goregrish (which I'm convinced he would definitely be a member) he'd probably confirm that theory

So, Donald Campbell couldn't see anything, couldn't hear anything, and crashed after putting his foot down on the throttle to max?

Does this make him an honourary Chink?
