The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Thank you Wout!
I found it as Boswell Bantam N2014 without further information.
Could you enlighten us further (before you continue with the next mystery), please?
 
The W-3 Bantam was one of several homebuilt designs by Bill Warwick. Others were the W-4 Hot Canary biplane racer (N4777W) and the M-1 Tiny Champ high wing single-seater
(N3632G)
Some details on the Bantam:
single-seat sport
No.1: one 65hp Lycoming O-145-B piston engine
max. speed 140 mph, cruise 115 mph, icr 1,000ft/minute, ceiling 12,000ft
wingspan 18.417ft; length 13.75ft; height 6ft
DETAILS: The single-seat W-3 Bantam sport aircraft was another original design of Mr. Bill Warwick. The first aircraft (N2258B) H) was constructed by the designer and was first flown on 4 July 1965 (June 1966?) with one 65hp Lycoming O-145-B engine. Several additional aircraft were built, such as a modified example (N2014) by Mr. Boswell (around 1969/1970) and one by Mr. Robert White and this aircraft appeared in 1977 only. These aircraft possibly had one 65hp Continental A65 engine.
Production: at least 3 completed
