BUILT IN BRITAIN: Rolls-Royce is celebrating a major milestone after successfully running its UltraFan® demonstrator at maximum power for the first time at its Derby site.

This is a huge step towards improving the efficiency of current and future aero-engines as UltraFan delivers a 10% efficiency improvement over Rolls-Royce's Trent XWB - the world’s most efficient large aero-engine in service.

UltraFan’s scalable technology from ~25,000-110,000lb thrust also offers the potential to power the new narrowbody and widebody aircraft anticipated in the 2030s. #UKmfg

So we will all need to think seriously about where to vote. As a tory voter for nearly 50 years after Suella, I can't vote Tory anymore. It was the straw that broke the camels back, I've made more excuses for this shower of shit than I did for My x wife.
No more, and now I need somewhere to live politically.

[Janet @Janetb222]

@TheBlackHorseD5 Same for me, first thought on Suella sacking, was that’s it I’m out. The within minutes it’s Cameron’s back 👀 feels like a knock out blow! So stunned and shocked. Over to reform for me.

[Janet @Janetb222]

Rishi Sunak sacks Suella
I was prepared to give Sunak a chance, not anymore, he showed weakness in sacking SB who was stating the truth, even to my moderate viewpoint. Now, Cameron’s back..what the actual …. This voter is out��� #GB before Sunak https://t.co/ZVXp0BkZqZ

On November 7th, 1920, in strictest secrecy, four unidentified British bodies were exhumed from temporary battlefield cemeteries at Ypres, Arras, the Asine and the Somme.

None of the soldiers who did the digging were told why.

The bodies were taken by field ambulance to GHQ at St-Pol-Sur-Ter Noise. Once there, the bodies were draped with the union flag.

Sentries were posted and Brigadier-General Wyatt and a Colonel Gell selected one body at random. The other three were reburied.

A French Honour Guard was selected and stood by the coffin overnight of the chosen soldier overnight.

On the morning of the 8th November, a specially designed coffin made of oak from the grounds of Hampton Court arrived and the Unknown Warrior was placed inside.

On top was placed a crusaders sword and a shield on which was inscribed:

"A British Warrior who fell in the GREAT WAR 1914-1918 for King and Country".

On the 9th of November, the Unknown Warrior was taken by horse-drawn carriage through Guards of Honour and the sound of tolling bells and bugle calls to the quayside.

There, he was saluted by Marechal Foche and loaded onto HMS Vernon bound for Dover. The coffin stood on the deck covered in wreaths, surrounded by the French Honour Guard.

Upon arrival at Dover, the Unknown Warrior was met with a nineteen gun salute - something that was normally only reserved for Field Marshals.

A special train had been arranged and he was then conveyed to Victoria Station, London.

He remained there overnight, and, on the morning of the 11th of November, he was finally taken to Westminster Abbey.

The idea of the unknown warrior was thought of by a Padre called David Railton who had served on the front line during the Great War the union flag he had used as an altar cloth whilst at the front, was the one that had been draped over the coffin.

It was his intention that all of the relatives of the 517,773 combatants whose bodies had not been identified could believe that the Unknown Warrior could very well be their lost husband, father, brother or son...

THIS is the reason we wear poppies.

We do not glorify war.

We remember - with humility - the great and the ultimate sacrifices that were made, not just in this war, but in every war and conflict where our service personnel have fought - to ensure the liberty and freedoms that we now take for granted.

Every year, on the 11th of November, we remember the Unknown Warrior.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.

NEW FACTORY: This is British Offsite’s new £45 million 'Horizon' factory in Braintree, Essex, which has more than quadrupled the manufacturer’s production capacity in the UK.

Expected to create 180 jobs, the 137,000 sq ft factory will produce the firm's UniSystem range, a hybrid MMC technology that includes light gauge panels, walls, roofs and floors, helping to deliver up to 4,000 homes a year.

Randek has designed the robots with each of them named after UK cities: Edinburgh, Cardiff, Belfast, London, Manchester, Liverpool, York and Cambridge. #UKmfg

The UK’s thriving, and internationally renowned, motorsport industry comprises over 4,000 firms and supports more than 40,000 British jobs.

The majority of current Formula One teams, including McLaren, Aston Martin, Red Bull, Williams and Mercedes, have their headquarters and operations in the UK, further cementing the country’s status as a global motorsport powerhouse.

In recent weeks, Aston Martin has unveiled its new £200m Silverstone factory and Mercedes announced plans to invest a further £30m upgrading its Brackley F1 factory (main image).

The German manufacturer employs more than 1.250 people at the Northamptonshire site where it has invested £40 million over the last five years.

In addition to this, McLaren is repurposing its former F1 factory in Woking to become a new composites facility as part of a range of major infrastructure upgrades, and Red Bull opened a new engine development and manufacturing plant at its Milton Keynes campus last year. #UKmfg🇬🇧

A new British supercar - the RML Short Wheelbase - has entered production at RML Group's factory in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire. Inspired by the legendary Ferrari 250 SWB, each V12-powered car takes approximately nine months to hand-build. #UKmfg🇬🇧

British engineering at its best! This is the newly restored Flying Scotsman - the first steam locomotive to make an official 100 mph run. Built in Doncaster in 1923, the 97-tonne locomotive entered passenger service 100 years ago today. #UKmfg🇬🇧

Read me ‼️Thoughts of our fighter⬇️ I am WIA (wounded in action). Bakhmut region.
A shrapnel near the neck,
I got lucky! - a centimeter and an artery would squeeze all the blood out of me with a fountain in 1-2 minutes. I would have been KIA (killed in action).
