I will hit the hay now, and think there are enough clues out to crack the challenge, so I will not add any at this point. Back in some seven hours.

Night all.

I'm sure you've got it LM although I think the nose is incorrect on the silhouette Reg.

It is REP Parasol, and I am not sure of the nose. There were strings, too, and I was not sure where the hull started.

Over to LM and me to get some supporting training .

Edit: Yes I see it now. One triangle too few blacked out. My apologies for not double-checking.

Gone now

Good morning everyone.

Reg, more Photoshop tuition required mate.

This aeroplane design was from a well-known designer but was never built. It's on the web.

Well, I did check the list and never saw RDs' post.

Ah well. You may therefore either take the thread or offer OH.

Well, I'll post a fast one to kickstart things again.
Not on Mel's list (I hope so... ) and highly recognizable
