Hmm. At what point was it "invented" then?

When first proposed?

When first detailed design produced?

When working design first completed?

When first build completed?

When first run?

When first flown?

And who first achieved these milestones? This should produce a very blizzard of 75th anniversaries spread from, what? 1978 onwards...if we discount the alleged 18th century proposal for a "gas turbine" so we're perhaps a little late on parade for 75ths.

But I suppose such bigoted, warped, class-ridden twaddle as that link shouldn't be taken as serious information. It certainly didn't seem to contain much.
