Stephen Robson will tell the story of Air Commodore Sir Frank Whittle, who invented Britain's first jet engine. Thousands of business and regional jets are powered by engines using his first basic design philosophy and the big airliner engines use by pass technology he patented during WW2. Your bargain air fare on holiday is his legacy.
