Rolls-Royce is about to break a record at Farnborough's International Air Show.

The company will display a record number of aero engines at the September industry showcase.

Nineteen exhibits will represent every type of Rolls-Royce engine in use today.

Many of those on show will feature components manufactured at the firm's Barnoldswick plant.

Engines featured will include the Trent, RB211-535E4, Tay and the EJ200 designed for the Eurofighter.
