RE: Coniston Water in Cumbria
Yep it was instant. They recovered his body and the boat just a few years ago and he is buried in the local graveyard.
The rainbow just hung there for about 10 minutes. I can believe the pot of gold is there too. :-)
It is quite astonishing that it took that long to find his body and the boat, but then again it's also quite astonishing that they were able to recover it at all. I have vague memories of that happening.
I remember it too. It was a huge story at the time.
Here is a documentary about the recovery of Donald and the boat if you are interested as to why it took so long to undertake it. Very deep lake etc.

I can understand his wife's feeling to just let him rest. Did you visit the cemetery where they buried the remains? Thanks for the video.
Well I did visit a cemetery but not sure if he was there. I guess he must have been as it was the one on Coniston Water. It was a long shot with a telephoto lens so not sure if we could pick it out. I'll have a look when I post it.
That will be fun to see, even if you can't identify it exactly.
