"If you’ve wondered about the unique name, it is actually a historical tribute. The pub is named after Sir Frank Whittle, the English aviation pioneer who invented the turbojet engine.
​
The prototype for the historic jet engine was actually built and manufactured by the Gloster Aircraft Company in a garage that used to stand exactly where Cheltenham's Regent Arcade shopping centre is located today - just a stone's throw from the pub."
