BILL Smith, the man responsible for finding Donald Campbell's remains and his speedboat Bluebird from Coniston Water, recovered the body of a missing diver from Ullswater on Saturday.
Clifford Purdham went missing during a diving expedition nearly four years ago.
Previous attempts to retrieve his body by the Lancashire and Cumbria diving team had faltered because he was in a particularly deep and silted part of the lake.
But police said Mr Smith managed to find Mr Purdham using equipment from the Donald Campbell dives.
