Turbofan powered truck

Title says it all

Shame the camera can't pick up the swirling fan blades - it really did look funny. My 4 year old pointed it out first.

I can see what look like 6 black-tipped exhausts on the exhaust manifold on the left side of the main power unit on the back of the trailer. It's a pretty big unit - I would guess that it's something like a 27-litre V12 Rolls Royce Merlin?
