The final projection site was the Frank Whittle Sculpture – created by Faith Winter – positioned under the Whittle Arches a double wing-like structure erected outside the Coventry Transport Museum. The Elephant Building which now straddles both sides of the A4053 Coventry ring road was another site, originally an Olympic sized swimming pool built in the 1960s, more buildings were added in the 1970s and used as part of the Coventry Sports & Leisure Centre.
