British Railways has been a long-running topic (and joke) on this channel since pretty much day 1. But besides contracting the production of some of the worst locomotives ever made, British Rail once decided it was a great decision to patent a flying saucer. Seriously.
"The British Rail flying saucer, officially known simply as space vehicle, was a proposed interplanetary spacecraft designed by Charles Osmond Frederick. Although the proposed craft required controlled thermonuclear fusion and other futuristic technologies, a patent application was filed on behalf of British Rail in December 1970 and granted on 21 March 1973."
