What Cockpit? MK V
Yes the Bristol 192 Belvedere - 2 x 1,465hp Napier Gazelle
or an airship. R33 perhaps?

Hornet
Mel;
thanks for the photo of the Hornet. I sent it on to my father who flew them in Malaya with the question of 'what airfield'. He thinks probably not Tengah; more likely to be Butterworth.

Mr Sikorskys big winged thing? Ilya Mourametz. (Might be getting the two confused but you know what I mean).
Edited to say: I didn't know what I meant! I was thinking of the Tupolev ANT 20

This one was not a Russian aircraft.
Akruba
She was not the Dornier Do.X
Whilst the cockpit layout suggests a large aircraft believe it or not this aircraft was a single engined aircraft.

larssnowpharter has it 
. It is the Dornier Delphin.
In 1920 Dornier produced the first Delphin commercial flying-boat. The first versions, the L.1 and L.1a, had a high open pilot's cockpit aft of the 138kW BMW IlIa or 134kW BMW III engine, but the later L.2 and L.3 versions had seating for two in front of the passenger cabin. Power for these versions was provided by a 186.3kW BMW IV or 194kW Rolls-Royce Falcon III and a 447kW BMW VI engine respectively. The Delphin L.2 accommodated up to seven passengers (one next to pilot). The L.3 could carry up to 13 and was built in Switzerland by the Aktiengesellschaft for Dornier-Flugzeuge at Altenrhein.

Thank you, Mel.
I had the great pleasure of of flying in Iren Dornier's (grandson of the man) Do 24 ATT a couple of years back in the Philippines.
I will be away for a few days but leave you with this which I am sure will cause no problems. Mel, could I ask that you referee, please. Apologies if it has been seen before.
