Well...it looks for all the world like either a Supermarine Walrus or it's predecessor/prototype, the Seagull V.

Well, not excatly...
It's from the other side of the biiiiiig pond, which is far more wider than the maximum range of this baby and it has been built by one of the bigger companies in todays aviation. It was not a great success and only one was completed. Later it was modified and is today preserved in a museum, thats why all the newer pics of this aircraft look a little bit different.Comment

Are we talking ultralight/microlight here ?If it 'ain't broken........ Don't try to mend it !

Yes, and no, Brian. I am pretty sure those categories did not exist in 1931 when this aircraft came about. It is a two seater (tandem), lightweight, has a pusher propeller and a parasol wing - so in contemporary parliance it would be a microlight I suppose. The engine was all of 25hp, and gave an endurance of 1hr pr. gallon of gasoline. The aircraft is American.
