His name sounds almost Wagnerian but you are on the right path

Yes, I've found him, but will hand over to John as he clearly knew him before I did. 

Wagnerian indeed. 😊

Well done @Knottyaward yourself a Holy Grail for your endeavours whilst @neverforgetcan have his feet anointed with water from the Holy Spring. A fairly rapid solution to this Wit saved you from a rather poor joke about Flower Maidens in Wagners Parsifal. 

Parseval was the inventor of the Kite balloon sometime known as 'A Maidens Joy' and the photo is from Wikimedia Commons whatever that is!

Many thanks but I'll decline your kind offer for fear of incurring third degree burns.😁

Sir Launcelot Kiggell?

I discounted him in the assumption he must surely have already featured.

Yes that’s him. Sorry if he’s already been in but I couldn’t resist.
