Morning Sycamore 
,
Originally Richard Noble's Farnborough Aircraft F1, it became the Kestrel JP10; it's now just called the Kestrel under new ownership and still staggers on, see here KESTREL AIRCRAFT
Edit:
As requested it was Open House Plan B is now in action, Noyade has posted a Challenge from sycamore

G'day Trevor. 
Sycamore's control then?
You were probably tired mate and forgot the plan? Remember, you managed to e-mail a cockpit photo to me so that I could upload it for you?
Not open house. Here is Sycamore's challenge....

OH if correct

Evening sycamore,
Seeing as there's been no takers so far, I'll start the ball rolling before I go home and ask for a hint or two or more!!
It looks like a fairly modern ultralight or microlight, it that correct?
Pusher? high-wing? Cantilever or braced? An engine type would help!
Will try and get back later and hope some others might look in too.

Not doing too well with this one 
!
I wonder how accurately we should interpret that? Exactly 1932, +/- a year, or just in the thirties?
Parnall Parasol, but two were built and probably not an ultralight!
If it's the decade, I wonder how many Perman Parasol (Grasshopper) or Broughton Blayney Brawny were built. Can't find any cockpit photos though. Is this one on the Web?
Hi '866,
I think that the L.A.2 was a Tandem Wing experiment and sycamore said it was a Parasol, but I may be wrong.
!
it`s 4-score yrs old..!!

Another clue ; the engine came from the West Country....
Don`t think there`s a photo on the web...(of the cockpit); plenty of others.
ASW,no relation to L-M..

R.A.E. Scarab first flight was in February 1932 or perhaps the Supermarine Sparrow II both powered by the Bristol Cherub III. If not either of these aircraft was it an aircraft designed to compete in the Lympne light aircraft trials?

Parmentier Wee-Mite?
Edit...there again perhaps not...doesn't really fit the clues other than the age. And can't find a photo on the web!

Well,
I wonder it it's the Granger Archaeopteryx ?
The clues don't rule out a tailless parasol, it's in the 1930's, one built, a tractor Bristol Cherub engine and being "prehistoric" the fabric could be expected to be "delicate"
Edit:
I just found a three-view drawing and the cockpit, control wheel and other sketches seem to fit well.

G'day Trevor.
I understand sycamore is out flying today so I'm sure he wouldn't mind if I confirm your answer so the thread can move on.
It is. Your control mate.
Sycamore tells me he flew it on one occasion in 1977 and I'm sure he can tell us more when he lands this evening. He provided some photos from that day and I think that's him in the cockpit...
