"Yes, I can visualise the oil squirting out of the pipe fitting, but how does the fuel arrive in the bearing housing?"

Because RR use a patented oil bearing case with only one scavenge line. Lube system works by pump, air pressure differentials and centrifugal forces. Totally different to GE/PE. Very precise and neat design.
