Hi I was trawling through the site and saw your request. One article which goes into the developement of the Exe, and also its derivatives, the Pennine and Snowdon can be found here: https://oldmachinepress.com/2012/11/23/rolls-royce-exe-boreas-and-pennine/

Thank you, but I am looking for specific performance data on the Battle

Hi Tallguy,

I hope that presents some help.

Looking on the BAe Systems site page for the Henley reveals the only engine test beds were either the Vulture or the Griffon, no Exe or Monarch. Here's the Vulture testbed

Yes it was the Battle that tested the Exe and P.24 Monarch.
Alec Lumsden in his book makes no mention of the Henley being used for these two engines.
