  I’ve not met any famous engineers but there are many great engineers in Rolls-Royce. There’s a man called Jim Wickerson who is the worlds leading expert on gas turbine technology. He is unbelievably knowledgable and was my mentor for 3 months. He’s so enthusiastic about jet engines that he even drew an idea of a jet engine diagram while having dinner on Christmas Day with his family!
