Can't quite orientate myself with this one norab. It's not I know, but is it sorta like an Avro Commodore in appearance?

good sketch indeed, that reflects the general layout, but not exactly,
not an Avro, it's a US design

Plucking at straws now - a rare machine? The Gwinn Aircar maybe?

Let's narrow this down a little...

Is it a biplane or a high-wing monoplane?

I was thinking Beech 'Staggerwing', but the inter-plane struts aren't right.

Graeme has it, it's the Gwinn Aircar. A rudderless trike cabin biplane. I'm away from my pc right now but will post the picture ASAP

Gwinn was an American outfit...I don't recall the aircraft but I remember reading about Joe Gwinn jr. who used to work for Consolidated
