A couple for Martin.....
I snapped this Rolls-Royce Griffon engine outside the engineering labs in the James Watt building, Glasgow University. There's no plaque details beyond the name, so I have no idea what mark/variant it is.
Think I'm right in saying that the engine was modified and fitted to Spitfires from MKIV onwards, and also fitted to the short-lived Spiteful fighter, which was intended to replace the Spit until the advent of jets.
The James Watt building itself was opened by Field Marshall Montgomery on 4th November 1959.
