It's obviously where he landed, after being blown off the roof of the creamery, in the storm!

 

TONY

 

How's he going to get down that's my worry and as mobile phones weren't around how's he going to alert LM's fire brigade that he is need of assistance? Semaphore?

Once again, you have NOT explained just what your doing on the Farm House roof top young Kevin.:nono:

Actually, I was up there pointing the chimney, when this photo opportunity arose.

 

The only thing is I'm still up there as no one has told me what direction to point the chimney!!!!

 

(old builders joke....!)

Is that like the estates agents joke - in need of some repair. Me thinks you need to start at the bottom rather the top with that des res.

To conclude The Manor Interlude here we have a couple of pictures from

'You know who'

You got down off the roof then I see. Its a good job that hot air balloon was passing otherwise you'd never have got these  excellant aerial shots. Just make certain the squadron leader doesnt s mistake it for a barrage balloon and take a pot shot at it.

Aha!  So the secret is out; Kevin is/was a 'civil'  (i.e. civil engineer).

 

I wonder if you knew Peter Tatlow, Kevin?  He was with Mouchel.  Long since retired and living in Hampshire.  He started his career as a bridge engineer on the Southern Region, and while at Mouchel's did a lot of work on ground anchors.  He is an expert on the Highland Railway (as is his son Mark).  Peter is also a prolific railway author.

It has been obvious throughout this thread that Kevin knows exactly how buildings are put together, and his professional knowledge has clearly informed the construction of his model buildings.  They are an object lesson for model-makers  -  accurately observed and correctly detailed.

 

(Mark Tatlow, whom I mentioned earlier, is also a building surveyor.  So is, or was before retirement, Chris Lamacraft, among others.  Building surveyors are well represented among the ranks of railway modellers.)
