Harrison Forman-an Indiana Jones?

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1934

I came across this at a "aviation jumble sale" yesterday in the UK. The article is  in a 1934 edition of the UK's magazine Popular Flying. It would seem that Harrison Forman was something of an 'Indiana Jones' character before he settled on journalism and reportage photography in China and Hong Kong.   The article is written in a very breezy 1930s style depicting what "fun" it is to be roaming foreign lands. He also describes selling aircraft to "War Lords".

The flying boats depicted in the 1920s image were not the last to visit Repulse Bay. In 1948 Mr KB Lee took his Republic Sea Bee there
