Marinavia Farina Srl was founded in 1946 by industrial designer Domenico Farina with headquarters in Milan. Designed and built several gliders and sailplanes, and prototype QR.14 Levriero four seat touring aircraft, powered by two de Havilland Gipsy Major 10 engines, first flown 1947, in which year it won Coppa dell’Aria at Milan.
A monoplane built in Argentina by the Chilean Edmundo Marichal, and fitted with an Anzani Y 35hp engine.

Donald Marendaz was born in Neath in Wales in 1897 to a Swiss family. He later served as a Lieutenant in the R.F.C. with some distinction during World War I. He was it has to be said a bit of a “chancer”. For all that he did start up and design the Marendaz Car business in Brixton later moving the factory to Maidenhead. These cars used Anzani engines and were quite highly regarded, being quite successfully used in competition.
Later on at Barton le Clay aerodrome he registered the Bedford School of Flying and became involved in designing and building the Marendaz MK II and Mk III.
D. M. K. Marendaz designed the four-seat Mk III cabin monoplane, two built by International Aircraft & Engineering Ltd. at Maidenhead 1937/1938. Marendaz company, at Barton-in-the-Clay, Bedfordshire, built prototype Marendaz Trainer two-seat monoplane which first flew December 1939.
Marendaz died in 1988 at the age of 91
The 1909 Marchetti “Chimera” biplane was designed and built by Marchetti in Italy.
