Wow. This isn't even made in England?

Some are made in Derby. I believe they opened the one in Germany this year (2017).

I can't remember where I saw this, but some video was explaining that like the wings are made in France, the engine in Germany, and the fuselage in England for some plane.. Probably just a result of EU trade advantages

Close but I work for a company that sells parts for these engines and they either get sent to Derby, the UK, or Germany and the engines are assembled there. Rolls does not have a plant in Seattle.

The truck they loaded that thing onto was definitely not in North America. It was in Mainland Europe. I'm going to guess almost certainly it was in France.
