Still Saturday
It's still Saturday in the Air Capital. Kind of appropriate as I wonder if the challenge is a Cessna Model AS "with a 93kW Siemens-Halske".
Cessna Model A - light monoplane
LM,
Please post one of your excellent silhouettes in the rare case I'm right.

Krhm.
It is IVL K-1 Kurki (the Box), a four-seated trainer.
One prototype was built in 1929.
I did not look at it again it because it had been a challenge in 2009.

Hi RD. It is indeed the Kurki. Well done
Must admit I looked through the list and didn't see it, but there again I was looking for IVL or VL and must have gone right past it!
Control is yours RegDep.

OK, gentlemen. Your call. I am turning in.
Your horoscope for tonight says: Keep the night lamp burning.
See you in the morning.

Evening, a Farman design maybe?
I struggling with perspective on this....the upper wing on the starboard side appears more or less above the lower wing, but whats happened to the upper wing on the port side....its either not there or swept forward???

Morning Sir,
There is a reason why Farman may come into your mind.
Well, the port upper wing "is not there" in the silhouette. It should, and it is like the starboard one. The original picture has faded in that area. Assume the aircraft is symmetric
