john luke Posted September 24, 2019 Author Share Posted September 24, 2019 Fulneck is a small village near Pudsey. It is based on an old Moravian Settlement. There is now also a private school, opposite which is a small museum located on the ground floor of a terrace house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But by the time Concorde flew with it BS had been consumed by RR, they chucked SNECMA a bit of work on it, which ended up with an in service name of RR/SNECMA Olympus 593 Mk610-14-28. 38,000lb reheated static thrust, 43% thermal efficiency, which for many years was the highest produced by any thermodynamic engine of any type or kind. The right now Mercedes F1 engine has 50% thermal efficiency, which is the current record holder. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john luke Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 The Yorkshire Sculpture Park is located close to the boundry between the Wakefield and Kirklees Districts of West Yorkshire. It is a large park with exhibits spread out over a large area. Admission including parking is £6.00. (Tickets must be booked on line before you visit the site.) A number of the enclosed displays are still closed. There are a couple of cafe/restuarants on site. Plenty of green grass in what is pretty much an urban area. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
