De Havilland Engine Company
- De Havilland Engine Company
The de Havilland Engine Company was an offshoot of the de Havilland aircraft building company, which started life in 1928 producing the famous de Havilland Gipsy aero-engine.
It went on to produce one of the early turbojet engines the de Havilland Goblin which saw service in the early post-war De Havilland Vampire fighter.The later Ghost turbojet propelled early versions of the De Havilland Comet jetliner and the De Havilland Venom fighter.
The Company later developed the de Havilland Gnome turboshaft from the General Electric T58 design, but the company was absorbed into Bristol Siddeley engines in 1961; Bristol itself subsequently became part of Rolls-Royce Limited
