This is not a Super-Goliath. There is no 2nd pusher engine in tandem behind the
1st. The Super Goliath's engines looks like this:

number 7 in 'Escadrille 5B2' of the French Navy. They had changeable floats and
wheels.

In 1925, those F.65s were used in anger for recce and bombing, with success,
against the Rif secessionist rebels of Abdelkrim during the 'guerre du Rif' in
Morocco.

Interesting photo of little-know history. Thanks!
