Any guesses as to what engine? It appears to be liquid cooled inline six.

Interesting photo, had to do a bit of looking at this, the aircraft is the Supermarine Commercial Amphibian similar to the Supermarine Channel flying boat and was entered into Air Ministry seaplane competition in 1920 designed to determine the best type of seaplane that was safe and was capable of landing on water and land. Testing for the competition was done at Martlesham and Felixtowe on the coast, as Martlesham is landlocked. The aircraft was around for a month only as it was completed in September for the competition and crashed in October but was not rebuilt.
