The closest I can find is a Hornet Moth... But it's not a perfect match underneath...

So, asking the blindingly obvious question (and therefore probably completely falling into the trap): is this a DH aircraft?

Hmmm.

So, putting the work I did on my Master's degree (in the Blinking Obvious) to use, I'll step as gracefully as I can onto the next trap by asking...

Stampe?

...in the full knowledge that this will turn out to be the pre-production prototype of some very exotic machine I've never heard of, but at least we'll have eliminated another possibility.

Ok, I'll play nicely.
Its British, was a one off from a well known manufacturer, flew in the same decade as the Stampe

Thanks Kitbag, very much in the spirit of the forum.

I'm sure the cognoscenti are splitting their sides at my logical, iterative, and hopelessly inept deductions...

Miles Hobby? Or something else from the Miles stable?
