Could anyone please advise me who the gentleman in the photograph below is? I know he has in his time been involved in aviation for a number of years I just cannot put a name to the face.

I believe this is Orville Wright of the Wright Bros.,, taken in the 1940s

I have a picture of Igor Sikorsky with hime in May 1942. The picture will not  down load in this reply, so go to Google Images, and search on "Sikorsky Wright" it shows them in front of the XR-4, Your man is on the right.

good luck

Thanks Captn Tommy. I think you have identified him. Following your input I did a search on Google and found the photograph you refer too but not the one posted above. However I did find the following which I think confirms the photograph is one of Orville Wright[View:http://www.flightglobal.com/airspace/themes/default/utility/:550:0].
