onetrack Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) Derek, his name is actually spelt Chris Heintz - just to ensure we have the right bloke, and not the heir to the Heinz foods fortune. There's a good article below about him, from 2011, republished when well-wishers were wishing him a happy 78th birthday in 2016. He was French by birth, and returned to France to live in his retirement. http://www.zenith.aero/profiles/blogs/chris-heintz Edited May 2, 2021 by onetrack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_d Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 And if you don't spell it with the T, you can't rearrange the letters to form "Zenith". Sad to hear. He was obviously a bloody good designer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
