Heikkis' Silhouette Challenge
Well done Karl. Your Control. 
From what I've read it was the THK.15 in the beginning, but after the war THK became under-utilised and ended up making bathroom fittings and filing cabinets and was sold to MKEK - Makina ve Kimya Endüstisi Kurumu - the National Founation for Promoting Machinery and Chemical Industries. So then we had the MKEK Model 4 Ugur ("Good Omen" or "Good Luck"). Just a useless bit of trivia for ya.
Cheers

The cockpit is different to the mailplane version but it looks like a Boeing B-1. There's meant to be one in Lake Washington - the owner brought it back to the Renton plant and it got crushed by the log boom.
OH in the unlikely event I'm right as it will be well past my bedtime.

Same here mate. I had a look at the Boeing but it doesn't seem to fit, exactly? I also tried Curtiss, in particular the F model, but again there are differences...

Hello Brian. The Ireland does look very similar but is not the one.
You could almost call the challenge aircraft a "metal-clad" close copy of one mentioned a little earlier.
