And I recall working as a student (holiday job) in a RR Aero engine factory in the late sixties. The titanium strips that certain small fan blades were initially cut from would fold nicely to make a toast rack - everyone had one at home! The afternoon entertainment was usually a break while they did a test firing of an RB211 out the back.
