Is that the place at Baginton? Just round the corner from me, it's never occurred to me to go and look.

Wellesbourne is pretty near me as well, closer inspection reveals that Joe Public can visit that one readily enough this June.

Re Coventry, the museum is attached to the airport at Bagington. From memory their example is XL360 which was one of the B2's modified to carry the nuclear Blue Steel missile. She's been there since around 1983, stored outside though so she's seen better days. Re-named the City of Coventry with that and a crest added to the nose.

The Wellsbourne Mountford Vulcan (XM655) holds a couple of open days each year and is one of the three Vulcans remaining that are in ground running condition. If it helps I can fully recommend visiting one such event if you get the opportunity and have a mind to attend. Likely as not it will be taxied by a current Vulcan display pilot and was used extensively as an instructional airframe for pilot training while tvoc's (XH558) was being prepared for first flight.

And here's the reply I wish I'd have made yesterday:

Except Soliola is a left centre and much more likely to end up at St Helens rather than Leeds.

G;ad we didn't bother signing him then

Clearly Saints didn't have the faith in their untested, young 21 year old stand off that you did.

Too true my learned friend. Not like the Sinny threads, they are ended by simply putting... "Sinny iz well fit innit" i prefer these tete et tetes between G1 and the mighty TVOC, you could choose worse to listen to on here....

I like having a good discussion with TVOC. I like to think I am helping him see more than just the stats when it comes to rugby

Sometimes, I'll argue the contrary even if I agree with him, just for the sake of a quality debate, but don't let him know that

Wheeler will be twenty for the majority of next season, so far from a write off age just yet. The Soliola signing is for 2010 so we will have to wait to see where they see him in their side and where Wheeler fits in the remainder of this season first. I'd expect Soliola to play left side but that could be centre or second row. I expect he'll be devastating in either, as I said yesterday he would have made a blinding signing and I expect he still will only not for Leeds now.

I think he figured that out for himself but happy to play along for giggles.

They had enough faith to continue with him at left centre V Les Catalans yesterday where he repaid that faith by scoring the winner.

Let's wait and see the extent of the latest Soliola injury.

Roosters forwards Sia Soliola and Craig Fitzgibbon will both miss next weekend's game against the Penrith Panthers after suffering injuries in their Round 10 game. Soliola suffered a medial ligament injury within the first minute of the game that will see him miss 4-6 weeks. He will have scans on Monday. Soliola & Fitzgibbon it must be the curse of Super League!... Interesting that the Roosters website is referring to him as a Forward now aswell...
