Well, Mike, there's not much Ecossais about this one, and, I suspect, not much of a mystery to our regulars. But it's an unusual twin anyway -

Hi Mike
The sole unique only-of-a-kind D-KCAS also referred to as the Blanik 2M of L-13-2M. Developed by Theodor Sigmund and his Flugtechnik Sigmund .
Two 22hp Lloyd LS-400 engines. Understand that Dr. Albert Vogel also played a (important) role.
Not really surprising it was a one-of-a-kind, Walter, eh ? A couple of lawnmower engines....not for me ! Over to you
Learned about the existence of this one only today, although she is from 1992 already.
Could not find too many details. I am open to reliable info
If you surf the fora for "novelties" you may have found her also.
OK, mine is more modest, but most ride-on lawnmowers have engines between 15 and 30 chevaux !
Not from Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, Asia or USA. View nose contours, engine could be one of mine. (I did not have a trade-boycott to the country)
The paint scheme on the rudder could give a clue.
Hi Walter!
Concerning your mystery this Leaves out South America, Canada and New Zealand, vegetation seems to be too luxuriant for Canada, should we concentrate on South America?
Cheers
Carlo
Regarding the paint scheme on the rudder my guess would go to Cuba, but can't find anything homebuilt/experimental/amateur from there.
Changing the search language definitely helps sometimes...
I think I have her now.
The AAC-001 Comas FAR-AC.

Carlo, by deduction and reduction, was already on the right continent.
Fabulousfour found her.
For those interested, on the secretprojects.co.uk site there is a topic going on by poster pegasus.
Look for postwar projects and latin american aircraft. A wealth of known and unknown info. This is where I found the AAC-001.
Next move is to fabulousfour
Thanks, Walter, very interesting thread!
Here is a biplane with an unusual tail configuration.
Experimental Polish built Hanriot H.D.14.
I have it as the Polish Hanriot HD.28 which is the export version of the HD.14, so both of you are correct.
Since Carlo was a moment faster it is up to him to show us a new mystery.

Thanks Robert!
I think the above was one of the first examples of push-pull configuration!
Cheers
Carlo
Hi Carlo, I see the Siemens-Schuckert DDr.1.
Thanks Carlo.
See where this number goes.
Is it an optical illusion or does that aeroplane have castoring main wheels?
Not castoring Mike. Looks that way due to the grainy photo.
It started out with a wout engine...
Good eye Carlo. It did set a speed record for its type in 1938.
A one-off from a well known company that designed aircraft from the early 1920's to the early 1950's.
It is the little Russian. Nice one Green.
