Unless I am very mistaken the aircraft shown at Post #1396 seems not to represent either of the following aircraft types.
You are quite correct. The subject photo appears to be a prototype of some sort - it is simply referred to as the "ASL Monoplane" which I suppose was the correct answer and not the Valkerie.
I have subseqently learned that the Aeronautical Syndicate were actually quite prolific (and apparently reasonably successful) with their 'Canard' types of similar design to this proptotype(?) of which the Valkeries appear to be derivatives.
Unlike the Valkeries my example seems to have a nosewheel on the tail....... too confusing .. "it's got wheels on the canard." rather than a full length skid.
However until I find out a bit more it's probably just as well to make the original article available for reference.
