This unusual prototype aircraft does not have an official name. We have simply used the surname of the designer/builder Bill Goldfinch and its type. The number "161", however, is what Bill always called the aircraft. During WW2 Bill was captured and, following a failed escape attempt, transferred to Colditz where he was key in the building of the Colditz Cock.
