"over shot of "Bluebird" making a its record breaking run achieving 281 mph" - the Land Speed Record is worked out by taking the average speed from two runs, so whilst one of Campbell's runs was indeed 281mph, his average speed from the two runs, (and therefore the Land Speed Record achieved), was 276.81mph.
The record-breaking run took place on 7 March 1935.
"Sir Malcolm Campbell and his wife" - her name is Dorothy.
"line of mechanics and engineers" - amongst the men seen are Leo Villa and Harry Leech.
