Has to be a non living scientist.

Rarely see a £50 note personally but hey ho.

RJ Mitchell for me.

 

[Albion my Albion]

Fifty cent. He earns a lot of £50 notes. Or at least he is paid a lot of £50 notes.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Light hearted,Dr Who ? Seriously John Harrison the watchmaker who solved the latitude/longitude problem for seafarers.

 

[wehatepalace]

It should be Stephen Hawking

 

[Notters]

Turing.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Turing.

Was just about to put that myself.

I think you've probably just highlighted why the public are only being allowed to nominate on this one rather than nominate and vote ! Looks like someone up high has learned a lesson.

They'll become a lot more common in the future.

Newton was on the £1 bank note, so I'll go for Faraday.

Faraday has been on a note.

I'd personally vote for Turing but I think they'll pick a woman. I reckon it will be Franklin

Another vote for Alan Turing, if it had not been for Ultra it might be Herman Goering on the back of the note.

 

[Frutos]

Hawking or Turing.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

My mum's cousin.

He was Sir James Black. He invented beta blockers and won the Nobel Prize.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Geoffrey from Rainbow

 

[Jam The Man]

Surely Adam West?

 

[WATFORD zero]

2.5 years too late for that lesson

I'd go for Turing as well

GAh, beat me to it!

 

[beorhthelm]

Turing, a pioneer of science with practical application, not just another theoretical physicist jockey.

 

[Dick Head]

Margaret Thatcher was a scientist. Just saying.

 

[Washie]

Tim Berners-Lee, creator of the world wide web, changing the entire world with it. still with us though so ineligible
