Afraid not Bama...the `Spirit of Ecstacy` was/is a small sculpture, modelled by Eleanor Thornton. It is one of the most recognisable sculptures in the world..

It was worth a shot...As you can tell, I'm neither an art afficianado or a rolls driver...But, now that you say that, it kinda comes to mind... It would be a good plane name though(i.e. Spirit of St. Louis)

...the first Englishman killed in a plane crash was Charles Rolls (1910), of Rolls Royce . The thread`s open, if anyone would like to start another `connection` puzzler...

... a bit quiet on this thread, so I`ll jump in if NJPhil doesn`t mind .

Question; What is the connection between the largest ship of it`s time, being the first iron-hulled ship launched in 1843, and `The Battle of the Gauges`?
