    BBC Points West have just shown the Rocket replica on a test run in the Forest of Dean.

    there was an interview with Bill Parker, and i'm sure that the reporter mentioned Forest of Dean with a flower mill caption

    there was a shot of a blue tank engine in bits - but free2grice is usually a very reliable source, so i think it is very likely that bbc have screwed up.

    peter lawson's bristol rail site has thread which confirms it was AVR!
