The Rolls Royce Heritage Trust maintains and promotes the aero engineering heritage of Rolls-Royce.
The trust's major activity is the collection and restoration of aero engines connected with Rolls-Royce and its corporate predecessors. An extensive collection of books, technical manuals, photographs, paintings, videos, films, sales literature and models is also maintained within the former engine test houses at Patchway. The trust is a focal point for the company's heritage from the earliest days to the present time. Aero engines in the collection include the Jupiter, Lucifer and Cherub progressing through Mercury, Hercules, Proteus, Olympus and on to the present-day Pegasus and the RB199.
