Noyade, since I've not been around, and you've posted a cockpit - you have control.

cheers,
Jake.

Sorry Jake, I got swept up in all the birthday excitement! And you were missing for a few days.

Tell you what, a bunch of clues to make up...
British.
Manufacturer became very famous for flying-boats.
Nose and pusher 50 hp Gnomes.
The front Gnome powered two wing-mounted props through chains...

Certainly does mate, that's the one!

To be fair, I think control should go back to Jake - Spit161, and he can decide.

That is awfully kind. However, I shall allow SincoTCs request - open house.

Not a Stearman. Notice the crank handle on the starboard side, and a radio panel on the port side.
