No Sh*t! And the clue was?

Is it a Bakeng Deuce of somekind? I can find a taildragger that looks very similar!

Honestly I know zero about these home builts so it was all down to clues!

here's the next, and then I have a jet next!!!.....



Sorry about the cropping. It doesn't blank out anything significant. The original was like this. This is the only photo I can find of this machine

Biplane, David. It is viewed from the starboard side, behind the wing(s)

Added text

anti-TC chaff at the ready... I'll throw in a clue. The designer/manufacturer was associated with/based in at least three countries, probably four! Further to this clue I'll add an "anagram".. something to spice up the evening.... SLY SEX

Afternoon chaps...looks like you've been busy today!

RR, was one of the countries Russia/USSR? As for trying to make a word out of SlySex, I can't see anything that makes a lot of sense!

Not Russia or USSR or Soviet Union mate! As for SLYSEX ........ alll will become apparent!!!

As we are past the magic 1600 and no sign of Trevor...... the designer was German but the aircraft were built in three other countries, possibly a fourth... SLYSEX
