Thanks Bri. That was an interesting challenge as it really is a silhouette of an actual aircraft, not a drawing. Makes it that bit more difficult.
Anyway, here is the next challenge.

The Hawker Dancock it is. Three aircraft, based on the Hawker Woodcock, were ordered in 1925 by the Danish Government. Changes were made to the wings and cockpit area. The Danecock was slightly longer than the Woodcock and the lower wing was shorter that the upper wing. The power unit was an Armstrong Sidderly Jaguar IV developing 385 hp. The Danecock first flew in december 1925 and the three aircraft order was delivered in February 1926.
One of the Hawker built aircraft broke the Scandinavian Altitude record. It reached 8598 m. There is a Danish built Dankok in the museum in Copenhagen.
Ciarain has control (i think).

Umm... S'land. Your picture is of the Hawker Hawfinch -long gone.
The last Danecock is of course in the Tojhus Museum In Copenhagen.
