Gruss Gott Beags - I remember Munchen, had lots of fun there in the early nineties flying the Turbo-Union 1-11 into there and Torino several times a week!
How about the Westland Whirlwind, the sibling being the Lysander?

Hi Airbedane!
Nope, Whirlwind isn't the answer. Not a bad guess - but both my brother and I had 2 engines - sorry. Westland isn't the right manufacturer, by the way.
The chairman of our meeting at Munich was also a TP - on the Tornado amongst other types.
sycamore's post has me really baffled!

Just to put you out of your misery, I was considering the Welkin and Whirlwind, as made in Yeovil. Now anyone familiar with WestCountry cottage industries would know that there was a glove factory in Yeovil, and part of the WA factory had to be expanded during the War to increase output , so part or all of the glove factory was requisitioned, and the workers as well, making trim etc. Hence, it used to be known in helo tp circles, as The Glove Factory!! Surely, Beags, you would`ve known that ????
As a last gasp you must be The Airspeed Twins, Envoy and Oxford!!!!

In fact Yeovil Town, or whatever the football team are called, are known as the Glovers... this from a bitterly disappointed rugby fan!
Beags, Monoplane?

Monoplane - yes.
Never heard of the 'glove factory' connection, even though I worr from Zumazett moyself. But since neither kevball nor helicopters feature highly on my interests list, possibly not that surprising.
Welkin and Whirlwind, Envoy and Oxford equally incorrect.......

Nope!
But that might be an answer to your request for me to respond to direct guesses at the manufacturer, rather than my answer to your specific guesses......
