Been almost 35 years since I left Yorkshire.

My father left in body but never soul (once a Yorkshire man always a Yorkshire man) despite joining the army as a band boy at the earliest age possible to escape the poverty in York City but he never stopped talking about it, ya know Geoff Boycott and Fred Trueman lol

Brilliant pics JL, TFP.

As an ex aircraft fitter working for the MOD your pics bring back fond memories, i remember re-building this engine on many occasions, its a BS Olympus IMMSMC.....

Yorkshire Air Museum-3336.jpg

Yep.

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.

YS Parl-.jpgThe 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.
