The windscreen shape certainly seems to fit the Klemm 26.
Choices are:- L26a-II G-ABFS 80 hp Siemens & Halske Sh13
L26a-III G-ABBU 95 hp ADC Cirrus III
L26a-III G-ABCI 95 hp ADC Cirrus III
L26a-III G-ABOJ 95 hp ADC Cirrus III
L26a-X G-ABRP 120 hp de Havilland Gipsy IIIOK, just need an “engine man” to narrow it down…..

I’m sure that is a Cirrus and it’s not “CI”. And thanks for the shopping ‘sweetener’ which has been requistioned.

Taken a look at it…………..
Think it is more likely to be from the Klemm stable. The registration appears to be in the G-ABxx series and there were some Klemms around that would fit.
The Miles M.2 Hawk prototype was registered G-ACGH so there won’t be any Hawks in the G-ABxx series………….
Not 100% but reckon it is a Klemm 26 or possibly Klemm 27………….

Klemm L26a ?
Wouldn’t you expect to see a hinge-line for the fold-up section of the inner wing on a Klemm?
Although I have no alternative to offer. Oh for a copy of Ord-Hume’s “British Light Aeroplanes” 🙁
