Hello. I came across this thread because I was searching for Hitefinder on Google. My father, E. Dennis Kenzie, was actually the inventor of the Hitefinder when he worked for Irvin Industries in Letchworth, UK. At the time the UK division of Irvin did not put much faith in the Hitefinder. After being made redundant in 1973 we emigrated to Canada where my father was then employed by Irvin Canada in Fort Erie, Ontario. It was there that the Hitefinder was embraced and became a highly successful product with the US, Canadian and many foreign militaries. As far as I know it was not marketed or designed for the recreational jumper. My father designed many parachute and aerospace related products in his lifetime. Nice to see his legacy is living on!
