Thanks LM,
Coffee break's over now, so a hurried one, sorry not a silhouette and when I inverted the image it all went squiffy, so it's as it comes. Another wet one! I'll keep my light on and monitor as I can.

Funny, Flight magazine calls it "THE FIZIR A.F.2, A New German Pusher Two-Seater"
Edit to say that they probably got it wrong when they coped the story from Flugsport. And Fizir had worked for Fokker in Germany...

Ah-so Glasshopper! 'Tis a twin, difficult to tell in side view, rather like your Pusher in silhouette!
Lightning Mate has Control again!! 
The Hopfner HA-11/33 was an amphibious flying boat built in Austria in 1933 to a specification by the Dr. Oetker company for such an aircraft. The result was a conventional, high-wing cantilever monoplane with a stepped flying boat hull and pontoons on struts under the wings at mid-span. The cabin was fully enclosed, and the twin engines were mounted tractor-fashion on struts above the wing.
A HA-11/33 was purchased by the Austrian Air Force, and was subsequently absorbed into the German Luftwaffe following the Anschluß

Thanks mate - good 'ere innit"!
An easier one:
Going into class for two lectures. Light off, and on during breaks.

That looks like a Grushin SH-Tandem MAI-3 ??
Edited to say:
Sorry mate, but I'm fresh out of new balls, so it'll have to be an Open House, perhaps RR will oblige, so that you can play!

Oh well, half an hour and no takers, managed to concoct a half-arsed excuse for a silhouette before end of lunch break, so here's another one with a wet bottom that won't last long!
Careful with the designation though, there were several and I want the right one
