Name that Flying Machine
So USA? The building in the background suggest America rather than the UK or Ireland.....

Looks like there might be a US registration under the wing! Gear legs look similar to some Wacos but it's not otherwise like any Waco I can recall.

I have no idea what the aircraft other than it looks a bit special There appears to be a large space between the engine and cockpit possibly holding a large fuel rank. There appears to be additional strengthening at the attachment of the cabane struts.to wing.
Sorry, tied up doing an online quiz with the kids for the last couple of hours. 
It's the one-off 1937 Collier CA-1 Ambassador (reg NX17610 just visible under the wing).
Open House, please.

What was special about it?
Well, that certainly doesn't look like a Fisherman's Bend product!
