<p>HMS Warrior is a 40-gun steam-powered armoured frigate built for the Royal Navy in 1859-1861. She was the name ship of the Warrior-class ironclads. Warrior and her sister ship HMS Black Prince were the first armour-plated, iron-hulled warships, and were built in response to France's launching in 1859 of the first ocean-going iron-clad warship, the wooden-hulled Gloire. Obsolescent following the 1873 commissioning of the mastless and more capable HMS Devastation, she was placed in reserve in 1875, before being decommissioned in 1883.<br />
Listed as part of the National Historic Fleet, she has been based in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard since 1987.</p>

I did notice a field fenced off, with a gap, but saw signs about keeping out, private property etc. But did see other spotters on there, but I decided to stick to the tarmaced path.<br />

The other path at the front looked a bit rough and didn't use it this time.<br />

The National Express Coventry service X1 from Coventry to Birmingham. I'd earlier caught a X1 from Swan Shopping Centre in South Yardley to Cargo Terminal, then did the reverse when I finished my walk.<br />

<br />
I would expect National Express Coventry to become part of West Midlands Bus when the WMCA / Transport for WM takeover from National Express is completed.<br />
