Reginald Foster Dagnall was a British engineer and aircraft designer.
==Early life==
Dagnall was born in Fulham, London in 1888 the son of Walter and Frances Dagnall, he was educated at Tiffin School, Kingston upon Thames. Dagnall started his career in the drawing office of the Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company. He then joined Ernest Willows in developing Willows airships and during the 1914-18 war he was first works manager and then general manager of Airships Limited., a firm which made kite balloons and blimps.
Following the war Dagnall founded his own company, which has since become famous for pneumatic dinghies and barrage balloons. The RFD〔( RFD is now a trading division of the Survitec group )〕 name is now synonymous with "Rapid Floatation Device"〔(Flight International 1941 )〕 and the supply of marine and aviation safety equipment. He had researched flotation gear of various sorts, and in 1918 he built some of the earliest rubber dinghies. RFD moved to Guildford in 1926 and expanded to Catteshall Lane, Godalming, in 1936 the Godalming factory burnt down and was rebuilt in 1954. In 1959 RFD merged with Perseverance Mill. In 1963 it took over Elliot Equipment and acquired GQ Parachute Company Ltd. It purchased Mills Equipment Company in 1968. In 1970 the three companies merged to form RFD-GQ In 1975 RFD-GQ divided into: - RFD Inflatables Ltd - GQ Parachutes Ltd - RFD Systems Engineering Ltd - RFD Mills Equipment Ltd.
Dagnall was also a director of G.Q. Parachute Co., Ltd., (now part of IRVIN-GQ) which leased space in the RFD works in Guildford. The GQ company operated for many years as a separate organisation until it was absorbed into the RFD Group.〔(Flight International 22 August 1963 )〕 In 1942 Dagnall died, in his late fifties of heart failure.
