08 Signs and Images

There must be thousands around the city.

In 2006, twelve young people were selected to take part in the Tall Ship Project. As a part of the process the young people participated in a four day sail training on board the ‘Greater Manchester Challenge’.

The first group sailed from Lisbon to La Coruna and the second group from La Coruna for Antwerp.

Has anyone noticed these 'all over the show'?

Seen em all over the Rocket/M62 - try driving over the flyover at night and see if you are distracted by the blue lights!

The Rocket looks great with its new paint job and 08 signs, love it.

The think banners as seen in my pic look terrible and will only get dirty, damp and drupee

I'll give you that Kev - for once in it's life, the Rocket is actually quite pleasing to see as you go past. Wonder how long it takes before they're nicked or targeted by low life?

Personally I feel they look tatty and out of place. Must do better council wallahs!

I've also seen them, they're also in places such as rice lane and along the dock road near the tobacco warehouse. I think they will look good as long as they are regularly replaced/cleaned, which they more than likely won't be.
Regarding the rocket junction I think it looks absoloutely brilliant and gives Liverpool a truly international feel. I would like to see something similair done to other monstrosities across the city such as the bootle flyover and the dale street flyover. I wouldn't expect anything on the scale of the rocket, but it would be nice to see them at least cleaned and given a fresh coat of paint.

I'm not sure wether to ride up to the rocket.

Maybe when It's sunny, I got a wide angle lens coming In the post soon.

What's on theRocket flyover as you come to the lights off the M62? Seemed to be projected on (assuming since it was dark when the coach i was on got there)

There are two projections both displaying 'welcome to Liverpool'. There is another projection on the opposite side of the flyover but I don't know what it says.

It has been confirmed to me by LLDC that they do intend to complete the lighting on the rocket flyover handrail so it is completely lit. They have had some technical difficulties but are close to resolving them.

I am led to believe that this, The Mersey Wave, is the begining of Liverpool >>>>

If that is the case, how is it that the 08 type flags only start at lights at Speke Boulevard and Woodend Avenue.
