Sir Torquil Patrick Alexander Norman (11 April 1933 – 19 March 2025) was a British businessman, aircraft enthusiast and arts philanthropist. After taking a stake in Berwick's Toy Company, he turned it into one of the largest toy firms in the United Kingdom before he resigned from the company in 1979 due to a dispute with the board. In 1980, he founded Bluebird Toys, which made the Big Yellow Teapot House, the Big Red Fun Bus and the Polly Pocket line of dolls. Norman founded the Global Vehicle Trust, which established OX Delivers to operate trucks that affordably transport goods out of rural areas in developing countries. Norman flew multiple trans-Atlantic flights in classic aeroplanes.
