BSD has it it, it is indeed the Rollason D.32 Condor.
Norman Jones, the founder of the Tiger Club and owner of Rollason Aircraft & Engines, had already had a number of Druine D.31 Turbulents built by his company and hit upon the idea of developing the Condor for this role.

Initially Rollasons constructed D.62 G-ARHZ in 1961 with a 75 hp Continental A75, with which it made its first flight in May of that year. "Air Pictorial" for April 1961, when reporting the completion of this first Rollason-built specimen, mentioned that it was to be called the Tutor! In 1964 the first Condor was upgraded by the installation of a 90 hp Continental C90-14F engine.
The cockpit shown was from G-AWEI a D.62B similar to the aircraft shown below.

As BSD says it is open house.
