This week marks the 75th anniversary of the first jet-powered flight in Gloucestershire. Sir Frank Whittle spent years developing his revolutionary new engine technology. It was installed in a plane specially designed by the Gloster Aircraft Company which managed a series of short hops at Brockworth. Here is a BBC news report from 1966 when we marked 25 years since the flight. | BBC Gloucestershire
