That's pretty cool news. Normally companies such as RR do stuff like that with apprentices as kind of 'on the job training projects'. That is not to say the things are in any way amateurish in their results, generally speaking quite the opposite is true, as apprentices are usually keen to impress, and you normally have to be pretty good to get a job with RR, for example, a relative of mine works for them, and he took the job with them after turning down a job with the Williams Formula One team as an engineer. He's a motorcycle racer in his spare time, and he's pretty good too, having raced for some big teams and won quite a lot of stuff.
