Ooooh is it the Short Knuckleduster?

Quote

The Short R.24/31 (or Short S.18 and nicknamed the Knuckleduster) was a British twin-engined, high-wing cantilever gull winged monoplane flying-boat designed and built by Short to Air Ministry specification R.24/31 for a "General Purpose Open Sea Patrol Flying Boat". The contract also specified the use of the experimental Rolls-Royce Goshawk engine.[1] The Saunders-Roe London and the Supermarine Stranraer competed successfully for this contract.
