Good evening gentlemen!
Been in hectic today plus meetings all afternoon; so first time on SC today and it seems to have been a quiet day.
here's one to try and keep things moving!
Off home soon, but will turn green light off when I go and will put it back on when I get home

Evening ninjaconnie,
Sorry, but it's not a SAETA
Edit:

Edit2:
No need to worry now, thanks Bri

Evening SincoTC. Yes it is the 45-80 Sekani! 
Another obscure one lost in history. It was the largest "bush" plane ever built. It was fit with both skis and floats. It nearly bankrupt Fairchild!
Here are a few pages of photos:

You have control Sinco.

Thanks Karlark,
An interestig challenge; most of the photos on the web show it as a floatplane from the side; which looks nothing like your silhouette, fortunately I persisted because the description seemed to fit, then I happened across the Canadian Aviation site and found the image yuo had used (even that was captioned as a floatplane)!
Another early start for me, but I don't want this one tto linger as monitoring time will be limited, so here's an easy one for those on trailing or leading time zones

looks a little like a Loire et Olivier 45 series
The caption says it's a Loire et Olivier LeO.451
I came across this almost ready-made silhouette while looking for images of the post-war flying laboratory 451E variant, which are quite scarce on the web, and being a lazy sod I couldn't resist using it despite that give-away tail
Karkark has control
(or is too near bed-time?} Oh well, back to work now for me, sleep well
Quick afternoon stab. Tupolev SB 2....?
