Wonder who the white-haired man was , Lippisch ? or did I read that wrong ? The mention of the Wallace is a bit confusing could that be the Wapiti variant or were they just using up their Ws. Penrose`s own writings are so evocative of the period. A great pilot , no doubt. Paul McCready (of man-powered flight fame) did a prehistoric flying beast for TV too. There is/was a plan in RCM&E s lists too. The German "look-a-like"to the Westland machine was/is called Leonardo or similar if I remember. Shades of the da Vinci Code ! Where did the Inter-ex example get the inspiration and why the name ? Indeed ,"curious and curiouser" said the White Rabbit....eh !
