That is the one, the Welch OW-5


The Welch OW-5M (along with the OW-6M, OW-7M and OW-8M) were a family of American two-seat light cabin monoplanes designed by Orin Welch. Welch's goal was to design cheap and functional light aircraft. The aircraft is a braced high-wing monoplane with an enclosed cabin with side-by-side seats for two. It had a fixed tailwheel landing gear and a nose-mounted engine.
Total production of all types was 55 aircraft mainly the Continental engined OW-5M.
You have control.

Not only perhaps but sure, Mel!

MA-7

MA for Militär Apparat

Designed by Chef-Ing. August Häfeli, who was now employed at the K+W factory in Thun, the MA-7 was another attempt to produce an indigenous Swiss fighter, after the failure of the earlier Häfeli DH-4. The MA-7 was not chosen to go into production, though it did achieve a Swiss national altitude record of 9,700 metres on 23 April 1925. Serial no. 670 Schweizerische Fliegertruppe.
Stayed in Swiss Air Force register for exactly two months.

The floor is yours Sir

Edit to say: I know now what you meant LM .

Thanks RegDep. Great challenge, the fin and rudder was the give away, the Fiat CR20 had a similar fin and rudder but not as distinct as this aircraft.
I am having to go Open House as I must go and pick the grandkids up from school.
