Kidnap of the Flying Lady shows how a dextrous move by Sir Ralph Robbins netted £40 million for an unconnected and unrelated company, aero engine maker Rolls-Royce PLC. The story continues with how the famous plant at Crewe ended up making Bentleys under VW ownership and how BMW rather bizarrely buried a Rolls-Royce factory in Lord Marchs back garden in Goodwood.
