I'll commence by guessing it is a Lewis & Vought VE-9. The two-tiered panel is unusual, as is the intrusion in the lower centre, which looks like a housing for a nose wheel. The sterno pot dead ahead looks like an early RN torpedo aiming device. All a bit puzzling. The well padded cockpit sides would indicate a racer, or is it an inflatable collar for the odd off-shore excursion ?
