That's the one, TC!!!!! Another in my line of modified Cubs! Trevor has CONTROL

It does mention a lower wing, which is what he first said, but I guess there must be other references, maybe in Air Pictorial or similar, I'm busy at the moment and there aren't many about, so I'll wait and see if RR turns up and says what is is!
A sesquiplane in my book! - the lower wing being smaller than the upper!

Well, judging by that stack, I'd say probaly an inline by our favourite manufacturer, but I have no information other than it's German, a one off and it's year and role
Edit, I see you've spruced up now with that hair-cut, so not so scruffy
! Yes it's a two-seater

That well set back tailplane and the fin/rudder shape is classic Albatros, but that's about all.
