Hi,
in an FlugRevue magazin I have found some interesting detail about a design of the german ingenieur Günther Jörg. He built the TAB-VII series of experimental aircraft. I know only this one: the TAB-VII-5.
The data table mentioned also the TAB-VII-3 andTAB-VII-6. Do you know this types with drawings or pics, also the other types?

Is this the same person?
German engineer Günther Jörg, who had worked on Alexeyev's first designs and was familiar with the challenges of GEV design, developed a GEV with two wings in a tandem arrangement, the Jörg-II. It was the third, manned, tandem airfoil boat, named "Skimmerfoil", which was developed during his consultancy period in South Africa. It was a simple and low-cost design, but has not been produced beyond a prototype. The prototype has been in the SAAF Port Elizabeth Museum since 4 July 2007 and remains there currently (2013). The consultancy of Dipl. Ing. Günther Jörg was founded with a fundamental knowledge of Wing in Ground Effect physics, as well as results of fundamental tests under different conditions and designs that began in 1960. In 1984, Gunther W. Jörg was decorated with "Philip Morris Award" for future transportation. In 1987, the Botec Company was founded. Business is continued by his daughter and former assistant Ingrid Schellhaas.
