Having compared images it clearly has some connection!!!! However, there are differences which, as far as I can see, make my image different an distinguishable from a Petrel/Super Petrel. RR
Edit: I'm not sure what to do. The machine I have is not marked as any of te above but clearly it is related. There are various differences but I think it is so close. So, I will declare it to ....... Skytrain10, as he came up with Petrel first. I have it as the Naval Aircraft Experimental NAX-01 of the Thai Navy! I found little reference to it on the net but I did get this picture....

LM is spot on.
A true flying boat hull replete with port holes, hard chine, and an upper deck for the pilot officer(s). Galley slaves below? nah, just tars.. Truly nautical in profile.
Your turn.

The photograph is quite famous, taken in the UK from another aeroplane (Sopwith 1.5 Strutter) in 1916.
It portrays Captain Vernon Brown looping the aeroplane in the UK.
Clerget engine.
