I thought Archangelsi or Jermolajev, I was so close.
Here's a new one:
With the appropriate hint:

Not yet. In fact I wasn't really away yet. But now that my girlfriend's play is on stage in Munich, I will have a little more time. At least she will have, I hope.
Stanley Hooker is correct. Again very fast.

Similar process?...
I know this man. I'm thinking of a young Alec Issigonis, wrong kind of engineer. A young Seversky? Maybe James Jabara? I will have to think about it.
Is this the young Charles Kaman? Could find only older pictures but it would fit to the hint...

Not at all. My mistake. I read about Crossfield in a magazine two weeks ago. I remember when I read that he died in 2006 in a Cessna crash. I even saw the picture in the german Wikipedia! Stupidstupidstupid. I knew I've seen this guy.
But I like we way we give "hints". Makes the old wooden gears in the brain turning a different way.

Hi v2! I would've even accepted "DHA Glider"! Nicely done!
Built in Australia.
The cutaway is a DHA G2 converted to take the "suction" apparatus making it the DHA GLAS II (Griffith Laminar Airfoil Section or Glauert Lighthill Section).
Interesting concept but unfortunately the suction holes kept getting blocked by insects!
