The exhausts seem to point towards the prop;so ,is it a `pusher` installation on one of those Saro flying boats,or similar...?

Not the Singapore, this was a little later than the glory days of the pre war flying boat and with a very different role.

LM, the evidence is irrefutable, SAAB J 21A one of the few piston engine types to be successfully modified for jet power

I think this is a single, radial engined naval torpedo bomber from the 1930's.
Assuming it's British.
How about the Blackburn Ripon?
