Can anyone tell me anything about these two Falcon Cycles?

First frame is a 60's San Remo as mentioned. Chrome head tube lugs, all chrome forks, chrome rear triangle and wrap over seat stays. Later 70's frames has cinelli MC fork crown, less chrome o the rear stays and the mudguard eyes off.

The colour looks wrong for a Falcon, I wonder if it's been refinished

I read the description and it’s been refurbished by bob Jackson cycles -
It looks very much like a Carlton Professional -

The second looks very much like my late 70s Falcon Black Diamond, currently being restored. Busy derusting and polishing components, striping cleaning and replacing bearings where necessary. Having fun sourcing replacement parts for missing or too far gone items.

There were lots of burgundy Falcons!

Heres an Ernie Clements Falcon from around 1983/4 with 531 somewhere in the frame - the brake drop was hilariously large at the back and small at the front

A later Japanese built Tange Champion No.5 tubed Falcon Majorca from around 1988
