Good afternoon Ken,
Pretty sure that's the Adkisson SJ-1 Head Skinner ?? (seems to have aquired some spats though)
A good challenge and a very well chosen photo that by pure chance, completely obscures the "gull-wing"
! Looks like they just creased and folded the Luscombe wings 
!!

That's the one Trevor
. Yes, the Adkissin SJ-1 Head Skinner. Wings/tail from a Luscombe 8, some other components from Cessna. Apparently inspired by a Polish fighter (according to Wiki)....PZL-24 I guess?
Here's the photo I used:

Thanks Ken,
I'm in and out of the garden today, but will monitor periodically!
Here's one that looks the part, a design concept that never flew in other than model form. Pretty distinctive wings though, so shouldn't last long!

So much for "this should be easy".
I have been searching for hours to no avail.
Found lots of other closed/annular aircraft.
Will try now with the ducted fan parameter.

Evening skwinty,
The shape you're after is like the romboidal wing and is often described as another shape, for which SA is renowned, think of a company founded by Cecil Rhodes and don't forget it was only a design concept
