It was indeed the Napier Nomad. Supposed to have very good TSFC, but overtaken by the advent of much simpler turboprops. It was a very complex and heavy device indeed. We had a real one at London Queen Mary College when I was studying (?) applied ULAS Chipmunking plus the occasional Aero Eng lecture in 1969-73!
