The Olympus was first run in 1950 reaching 10,000 lbf (44 kN) thrust and was flying in an English Electric Canberra testbed by 1953.
A marine version of the Olympus was trialled in the refitted Royal Navy frigate HMS Exmouth which became the first major warship in a western navy to be powered by gas turbine engines.
The Olympus was subsequently used for the Type 21 frigates and the sole Type 82 destroyer, HMS Bristol (TM1A).

  Rolls-Royce Olympus
The Olympus is a high-powered axial-flow turbojet, originally developed and produced by Bristol Aero Engines (hence the name from Greek mythology, a long time tradition of Bristol Aero Engines), later passed to Bristol Siddeley, and finally to Rolls-Royce.
The Olympus was first run in 1950 reaching 10,000 lbf (44 kN) thrust and was flying in an English Electric Canberra testbed by 1953.
A marine version of the Olympus was trialled in the refitted Royal Navy frigate HMS Exmouth which became the first major warship in a western navy to be powered by gas turbine engines - conversion taking from 1966-1968.

During the late 50's and 60's there was a significant rationalisation of the British aero-engine manufacturers, culminating in the merger of Rolls-Royce and Bristol Siddeley in 1966 (Bristol Siddeley had itself resulted from the merger of Armstrong Siddeley and Bristol in 1959).
Bristol, with its principal factory at Filton, near Bristol, had a strong base in military engines, including the Olympus, which was chosen for Concorde.
Having been selected as the sole engine for the Lockheed L-1011 (Tristar) Rolls-Royce committed heavily to the RB211 engine.
