UK Onshore geology maps 1:50 000 scale in Google Earth

The BGS recently publised the Geology of Britain website, which makes available a Geological map of Great Britain online in an interactive Map Viewer. They make available a 1:625 000 scale layer for Google Earth, and a the 1:50 000 scale version via WMS only.

Unfortunatly the WMS doesnt play nicely in Google Earth for some reason, so here is a hand tuned Google Earth layer to display the 1:50 000 scale Geological Maps:

    Does this still work? I’ve loaded the KML into Google Earth, but all I get when selecting one of the layers (‘bedrock’, etc.) is a white box.
