Nice one! Looks like an ABC-engined type? 2-seater? Looks tiny.
Almost Cherub like one could say.

Well there were plenty of clues there. It is the Westland Woodpigeon, I believe.

There were indeed plenty of clues.

MReyn has correctly named the Westland Woodpigeon and has control.

It's just inverted snobbery...

No idea what it is, cruciform tail is interesting.

I can't work out what the jobbers are above (below) the wheels.

I wonder if it's an old AQ challenge.

The wings made me think of Lublin but I don't think it is.

I have searched Aerofiles so I don't think American.

There are a couple more questions above.

Maybe a Desoutter Dolphin.
