This clip popped up in my feed, a nice little piece from 1969 featuring a Luton Minor at the Shuttleworth Collection: https://www.facebook.com/BBCArchive/videos/237305076935604/
Starting at 1:32 until 3:30, the video shows a two-seater under construction and in model form that is described as a side-by-side, two-seat development of the Luton, a sort of wood-and-fabric Corben Junior Ace. The presenter even says that the Turkish government was negotiating a license to build a limited series of the design.
I am pretty plugged in when it comes to older homebuilts, but I have never heard of this one before. I have included a couple screen shots below. Anyone know any more?
PS--This may be Arthur Ord-Hume's LA.8 Minor-Two that I wrote about several years ago in another group, but I am not completely convinced. See http://www.kingpinmedia.co.uk/_OtherSites/LutonMinor/modern_minors.htm and https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,16561.msg159501.html#msg159501.
