‘The British Rail flying saucer, officially known simply as space vehicle, was a proposed spacecraft designed by Charles Osmond Frederick.
‘It originally started as a proposal for a lifting platform. However, the project was revised and edited, and by the time the patent was filed had become a large passenger craft for interplanetary travel.
‘The patent lapsed in 1976 due to non-payment of renewal fees.’

We’re still waiting….
Would have been late for it’s destination anyway.
“We are sorry for the delay, there is currently a red signal at Mars, we will just wait a few Millennia for the signal to turn green and will shortly be on our way.
