Good evening skytrain,
Been very busy here so it's my first look-in for a while; you're anagram has got me puzzled (and everybody else it seems).
You don't normally miss the apostrophe from can't; but you have done so three times since posting your clue, therefore I'm thinking something produced by Cantieri Aeronautici e Navali Triestini, usually known as CANT and for its seaplanes, however they did build a couple of biplane trainers, but I can't find anything convincng, the 26 being closest in the quick searches I've got time to do now.
As you said that you discovered this while looking for LM's Chinese biplane and he's known to use the Aerodrome site, I wonder if there's some variant lurking there?

Hi Sinco.
Sat on an aircraft in Brussels at present having diverted from Luxembourg due snow! Thought I would see what's happening while we wait.
Cant is indeed the anagram of the manufacturer. It is on the aerodrome site although details appear on others if you know what you're looking for!
It's not european, Asian or from the US.
So with that in mind what manufacturer can you make out of CANT?

In that case it's a TNCA Type B from Mexico!
I hope that you have some better luck with the weather soon and you complete your journey safely.
It will have to be an Open House please as I'm off home now. Good Challenge mate!

I found Graemes' Xmas Special.
Yours looks like a squashed Lippisch project or a Santa sack on a skid?...
Good morning/evening.
Well Graeme, you've found the hidden shape, but it isn't a Lippisch mate.
I think you have now opened the floodgates.
