The Dantorp was a three-seat variant of the Hawker Horsley. Two examples were delivered to the Danish navy and used extensively with wheels and floats. Torpedo bombing was found to be difficult and anyway, licenced construction of ten more aircraft here at the Orlogsværftet naval yard did not go ahead. The official service designation was HB.III. 202 is hoisted on board here by the fishery protection ship Ingolf. Photo from: National Museum of Denmark
