[1] So which of these are aero-engines and notable and where do they fit: Cherub, Draco, Gamma (a rocket), Janus (its got compressors) Lucifer, Neptune, Oredon, Phoebus, Raven, Saturn, spartan, Stentor, Ttitan and Zeus?

Off the top of my head, Gamma is the rocket from
Black Knight and Stentor is from
Blue Steel. I'll look into the others.

Lucifer (B.1066) was a 3-cylinder radial aero-engine of 1919
[5]
Neptune - nothing immediately obvious on google
Oredon - a turboshaft for use in a Nord tilting-duct VTOL contraption. A collaboration with Turbomeca.
[6][7]
Phoebus - some sort of attempt at bodging a Proteus into a turbojet
[8]
Raven - rocket motor used in sounding rockets
[9] (note - some Bristol derived solid-fuel rockets seem to be named after birds, there's a Blackcap on the VL Seawolf and a Gosling on the Sea Slug and Bloodhound and also a Cuckoo. Others are named after dogs, e.g Chow on the Sea Dart and Retriever / Deerhoun on Sea Slug Mk.II)
Saturn - a small turbojet, was to be used in the Folland Gnat, cancelled
[10]
Spartan - liquid propellant rocket for JATO / missile use
[11]
Titan - 5-cyliner radial aero engine, mentioned
here
Zeus - 2-spool turbojet design for Avro 726 interceptor
[12]
From that, I'd say the only notable engines we should add are Cherub, Draco (translate these from German WP?), Lucifer and Titan.

Agree, found Gnome Titan [

Oh, and add Stentor and Gamma, both important, notable and nifty pieces of aero-engineering.
