I've just popped into the Science Museum (I work next door at Imperial
College) and it's still there, running the community disc.

For anyone who wants to visit it's on level 1 in the "surveying"
exhibit, on the right hand side of the balcony overlooking the hall
containing The Rocket train. The museum's free to get into BTW. It's
labelled "Example of a Geographical Information System". The BBC micro's
hidden away inside the stand sadly, only the trackball is exposed.
