Morning SD 
I think that I see the reflection of a landing gear strut and the top of an oleo that would fit well with a Westland-Cierva CL 20 ??
Have to Open House if correct as I'm off out now!

Well done,SincoTC.
It is the Westland-Cierva CL 20 with the 90hp Pobjoy Niagara "S" seven-cylinder air-cooled radial engine.

Thanks Terrence, that was a good challenge 
Still my OH so I'll reclaim it, here's the next one!
I understand that there may be additional wire-mesh screens to prevent birds nesting in this retired exhibit

G'day mate.
So, old, rare and in a museum? (any room for me?) American?
Immediate thought was the O-47, but that's a large strut at bottom left?
Single or multi-engines?

A'rtnoon Graeme,
Looks like a Curtiss V-1570 Conqueror!!
I think this may be the Atlantic-Fokker XA-7 prototype of 1931 ??
Open House if correct, I'll try and look back later, but it's a hectic day ahead and may not be able to.

Mock-up, the actual aircraft differed slightly...
May help...
See here....
Hmm...maybe more than "slightly"...
