T O P I C R E V I E WspacemanThe wife (Bryar) will appear on a forthcoming episode, possibly this week of the BBC show. Two experts from the world of antiques go head-to-head to raise money for charity. They buy cheap and sell on sometimes at a vast profit.The episode will feature antique expert Eric Knowles selling Bryar some space items with the National Space Centre at Leicester as the backdrop. Nothing special just some postcards and a guide book from KSC and a boxed plate 70's period I think. Worth a look though. spacemanFinally... the show airs this week on BBC 1 on Wednesday, time varies according to BBC region.Rick MulheirnYou want to watch out Nick; looks like Eric has "pulled" Steve ProcterBryar certainly hasn't... TykeanautI watch this show regularly so look forward to seeing this edition even more!YankeeClipperJust saw this episode today.It was a real shame "Knocker" Knowles didn't spend more time discussing some of the exhibits at the National Space Centre, such as the Soyuz capsule and Apollo 17 Moon rock, instead of chatting with James Braxton.(As an aside, the National Space Centre website needs updating to reflect that there are three Soyuz capsules on display in the West - one at the UK National Space Centre, one at the US Smithsonian and now Greg Olsen's Soyuz TMA-6 at New York's Intrepid Sea Air Space Museum.)Rick MulheirnNice one Bryar. Do you intend keeping your purchases?TykeanautYou're a natural Bryar. Now we have two "celebs" in our midst, yourself and a certain Mr. Mulheirn!

Charles Simonyi graciously donated his flown Soyuz TMA-14 to our Museum of Flight in Seattle, Washington, USA. Thank you Charles!Robert PearlmanHow exactly are they defining the "west"? As there is also a Soyuz (T-6) in Paris, a Soyuz in Munich (Soyuz 29) and a Soyuz in Cuba (Soyuz 38), to name three. Rick MulheirnChris you are too kind. Bryar clearly has a face for TV. But I think in future.... I had better stick to radio YankeeClipperOriginally, I was going to suggest that there were at least three Soyuz capsules on display in the West, I had a feeling there were bound to be more but couldn't be sure of the exact number.Although the UK National Space Centre's Soyuz 7K-OK and the US Smithsonian's Soyuz 19 ASTP Mockup are the two largest examples of hardware, there are quite a few reentry modules on display in 2013 outside of Russia...

Are they on public display?TykeanautYuri Gagarin's Vostok 1 capsule is on display at the Energiya Museum just outside Moscow.I think they are all still in Russia?
