Again a biplane glider. I was in great pains to find your previous one….

I think you are wrong, this once.
This might be from before their sturdy and chunky period.
The designer name leads to believe that his countrymen in the old country still master some of the skills.

Off by a quarter of century.
To-day's sturdies and chunkies would not fit into this one even using the biggest shoehorn ever built (that must have been built in the USofA, like everything else which is big or too big).

I cannot find much, the designs that match this one more closely are from NAF and Stearman.
I think I can see a down-pointing exhaust... may I inquire as to how many cylinders (I'll guess about nine) or the brand of the radial (your choice which one to answer, if any)?

Five cylinders. Not NAF or Stearman.
Side-pointing exhaust in this one. Or rather down. Clearly visible. Probably not the original engine, which was, indeed, a five cylinder one.
They taper some.
Stits? Not a Stits.
Today's British known for good industrial design? Gimme a break
