That is the one Terry. The LWD Szpak 4A
Szpak-4A was designed as an aerobatics plane. Only one prototype was built, flown on May 20, 1947. It had a steel fuselage frame rather than a wooden one, and a two-men side-by-side open cab. It was not certified as an aerobatics plane however, and was used by the factory as a utility plane in 1947–1948.

Home built Bri? However, it has the look of a Rollason about it.
