| Based on the Woodcock II and designed by Sydney
Camm, the Danecock was developed to meet a requirement
of the Danish Naval Air Service, or Marine Flyvevaesenets.
By comparison with the Woodcock II, the
Danecock {Dankok) had unequal span wings, a slightly
lengthened fuselage, a 385hp Armstrong Siddeley
Jaguar IV engine and an armament of two 7.7mm Madsen
machine guns. The first of three Danecocks ordered
from the parent company was flown on 15 December
1925, and the licence manufacture of a further 12 was
undertaken by the naval dockyard (Orlogsvaerftet)
during 1927-28. These served until replaced by Nimrods
in the mid-'thirties.
