Rolls Royce

I know Rolls Royce make aero engines, but that 'engine' looks very small! Shot at 6.30 this morning at Sudeley Castle.

Thanks for looking

Charlie,

That's one superb capture indeed.

Until BMW got hold of Rolls-Royce a few years back Rolls-Royce had been a lot of hot air for a long time.

Rolls-Royce, the company, haven't made cars for years.

BMW only bought the car company

Nice shot, though, Charlie

Very amusing.

Gentlemen,

Many thanks for your comments. Funnily enough, only the day before, my 14yo son, Alex, spent a days work experience at Rolls Royce Aero in Bristol with a family friend. He learnt all about design parameters for miltary and civilian engines. The design parameters for the engines in balloons seems much the same - max thrust or heat per unit fuel!
