I'll only be impressed when they fly a Valiant in the formation!

Hello,
I worked at Rolls- Royce Ansty between 1977 and 1988 as an Engineer and although I was not directly involved with the Olympus 301 engine I recall seeing a "bagged" engine with a fault report attached.The label stated that the engine fault developed at 80,000 feet...over the North Cape!..I am still not sure if it was a printing error or if the aircraft was really capable of such performance...It did have a rather large wing area....................

yes, Bruntingthorpe May 2015
I think there are a number of these around, I am sure there must be a Valiant out there somewhere

Many thanks for the reply,I am afraid Wiki is not always correct...,,,It once stated that Spilsby airfield was home to SAC B52s and other such nonsense!
All the best,
Tony.

I don't dispute that the wiki is unreliable at times, nor that some published figures understate military ratings, but at 80,000 ft the engines would be starving and the crew's oxygen would be struggling. In any case if the fault report said 80000ft then Rolls Royce would have probably said bloody marvellous, it was still working at 79,000 !
