More info :

 

The collection in Derby contains over 200 engines, and is arguably one of the largest collections of engines on display in the world.

These exhibits chronicle not only the story of Rolls-Royce, but that of many of the companies which have become part of the Rolls-Royce family such as Armstrong-Siddeley and the Bristol Aeroplane Company.

The Heritage Centre on Osmaston Road provides a detailed exhibition of the history of Rolls-Royce and our successor  Companies, and provides a comprehensive history of propulsion in relation to aviation, marine and land users of transport.

 

 

Of course, whilst a majority of the exhibits relate to aero engines, reflecting a large part of our current history, there are also examples of vehicle, marine, diesel and industrial/power generation engines, rocketry and their engines. The Derby and Hucknall branch exhibition, in combination with items also housed from Coventry and Ansty, and Bristol Branches, is a comprehensive history of propulsion on land, on the sea and in the air.

 

At the Heritage Centre, there are also workshop facilities for volunteers. Current projects of the Derby and Hucknall Branch include Griffon 58, de Havilland Gnome and a C4 diesel engine.

Refreshments are available at Wilmore Rd Site and the party is limited to 30 Members.

This is bound to be a popular so please book early : tony skerrett............................ .........thames@bmwcarclubgb.co.uk
