The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

With such a low resolution image, it's hard to get any feel for what it is - even to work out whether it's a single or dual seat aeroplane! But by reference to its overall appearance, I'll hazard a guess at a Carden Ford engined Chilton D.W.1.

Hi Mike!
My apologies for the terrible pic! Well I suppose that at this stage, to keep the thread moving on, it is best to reveal the name which, according to a usually reliable site, should be L.K.O.D.-4...
Cheers

Open House!
 
Sorry she is a high wing type. But....-you must agree, with a difference!
When needed I will post a photo where she is bigger.

The plane got several modifications during its life including a closed canopy, with a further modification the plane got some fame in a distance flight showing the safeness of amateur-built aircraft.
 
Not a low wing, not a high wing.not a parasol wing type, but this one has FSW (forward swept wings).
