JS Bach? Wasn't he a founding member of Bachmann Turner Overdrive?

Not that Roman soldier again? https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/whats-on/st-georges-day/9-things-you-didnt-know-about-st-george/

I didn't know either, so I looked it up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concorde#Flight_characteristics

Philip Henslowe: Mr. Fennyman, allow me to explain about the theatre business. The natural condition is one of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster. Hugh Fennyman: So what do we do? Philip Henslowe: Nothing. Strangely enough, it all turns out well. Hugh Fennyman: How? Philip Henslowe: I don’t know. It’s a mystery.

...and when they perform Hamlet, it would be the Royal Danish Bacon Company.

Have you found an OO-gauge floating barge and crane to work on sea wall repairs?

David, many thanks, that's solved the puzzle over how GWR had fitted that many sidings into the space south of the station. On the older map, south of the station building, there was a triangle of ground with trees, which I'd assumed was the limit. From your general plan, it's now obvious it has been used to both extend the sidings and reduce their curvature. Here's my "Mark 3" attempt, using the extra space, along with a goods shed, the station building, footbridge and a signal box.

Is it House or Shop Breaking?

Yes, and the Ratio kit of a round GWR water tower. https://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/p/17716/528-Ratio-GWR-Water-Tower-Round-Type

Just played with that. Nearly everything above FL400 is private business jets, most at FL410. Just a very small handful of BA flights at FL410 to FL430. Most of what I can see at FL450+ is a Gulfstream. It reminds me of a story from a friend of a friend on traffic control at Prestwick, perhaps 30+ years ago. One transatlantic flight requested permission to descend from FL600 feet to FL400 . "Say again?" was said twice. Might be an urban myth? Or a U2/SR71?

Not just Longbridge, but even some very expensive brands. I can still remember going down Hythe Road in Willesden, c.1970, coincidently past the Mulliner Park Ward factory. Where they built the body shells for Rolls Royce. I was shocked to see spare body shells lying outside the factory, all going dark brown with rust. It seemed a very strange way to build a "quality" product. But it was "standard operating procedure" at the time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulliner_Park_Ward

Is that the correct flight number? Flight Tracker doesn't recognise it.

OK, I'll bite. Why quarter-sized?
