"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."
