Any connection, country wise, to the Flea in the background?
Canadian Museum of Flight, Langley, BC, Canada - HM.290 (CF-RFH)[12]
Musée Royal de l'Armée, Brussels - HM.293 (OO-33)[13]
Canadian?
Brusselian?...

It is in a museum. The one (the Flea) shown was a partly-completed machine donated to the museum. It has no relationship other than location, with the SC machine. RR

Edit:
Brusselian?...
Is that Belgish?

The machine which this is a replica of...was it meant to represent a WWI aircraft?

(Does that make any sense?)

No, Graeme.

You are bang on, Ken!!!

"The Tui Sport ZK-ADV displayed is a replica built by MOTAT volunteers. It does however feature its original Szekely SR-3 engine. The original Tui Sport was built by Fred North during the early 1930's and it was based on the Lincoln Sportsplane. It first flew in January 1934 and it proved to have good speed and maneuverability. It was not impressed into RNZAF service during WW 2 but was operated by Auckland aero Club. It crashed at Ohope beach in August 1941."

Skytrain10 has CONTROL!

Thinking that it looks sort of Dornier Do-27 with a hint of Focke-Wulf, possibly Stosser.

Now thinking, it's time for bed. Cheers.
