Aircraft designer quiz

Doh, Sick at the moment, Bit slow and missed the thread, Go for it more please Radar, Saves me doing one Mate, A break from chasing pics, Cheers Lads, Tally Ho! Phil

I should have got Lippisch – he was an EAA member in times past and his son still is. We had one of his ground effect floatlanes on display last year

Apologies for the bad English. The above should, of course, read “too easy.”

The designers were identified much quicker than I expected and I thought some might never be identified at all. How I underestimated you all! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this little quiz. Would there be any interest for further ‘guess the designer’ quizzes?

I knew I’d made the clue to easy. 😡

Here’s a gratuitous photo of an aircraft based on one of his designs.

Wrong side of the channel! Scheiße! Alexander Lippisch?

Wrong again, I’m afraid. Time for a clue perhaps?

I hope this isn’t too obvious, but this chap worked at various stages in his career for both the Dornier and Messerschmitt companies.

Harry Hawker?

Not AV Roe either, Chris.

I’m afraid not, Adam. I’ll see if there are any other tries, before putting up a clue.

Sir Edwin Alliott Vernon Roe?

T.O.M. Sopwith?

Well done, Chris. No 5 is indeed Alexander Yakovlev.

Distiller: I’m afraid that 13 isn’t Handley Page. Anyone any guesses?

Antonov!

Well, perhaps you’re right …

5 is Yakovlev, I´m sure.

EDIT: NOT de Havilland 🙂

#5 — is Oleg Konstantinovich Antonov
#13 — Frederick Handley Page when he still had hair?

Is this No.5? им. Яковлева А.С. 😀 Yakovlev?

Well done, Chris. 7 is indeed Kurt Tank and 10 is Ernst Heinkel. My little deception didn’t work. :rolleyes: Any takers for 5 and/or 13?

7 – Kurt Tank NOT Heinkel
10 – Heinkel NOT Willi Messerschmitt

Correct again Adam, before I could even summarise what was left! Just 5, 7, 10 and 13 remaining.

Tank and Heinkel are also here.
