Двухместный дневной бомбардировщик и торпедоносец-бомбардировщик
Hawker Horsley и Dantorp
Британским Министерством авиации была подготовлена и выпущена спецификация 26/23 на двухместный дневной бомбардировщик средней дальности. Компания "Hawker" спроектировала и построила согласно этому техническому заданию прототип двухстоечного биплана. Самолет имел крылья разного размаха с несколько скошенными назад внешними секциями, подкосное хвостовое оперение, неубирающееся шасси с хвостовым костылем и силовую установку на базе V-образного двигателя Rolls-Royce Condor III. Прототип, получивший обозначение Horsley, совершил первый полет в 1925 году. В результате успешных эксплуатационных испытаний компании-разработчику был выдан контракт на 20 самолетов Horsley Mk I, ставших последними самолетами цельнодеревянной конструкции, построенными этой компанией. Появившийся затем вариант Horsley Mk II имел уже смешанную деревянно-металлическую конструкцию, а модификация Horsley Mk III, поступившая в эксплуатацию в 1929 году, была уже полностью цельнометаллической.
Самолеты Horsley поступили сначала в 11-ю (бомбардировочную) эскадрилью, а к началу 1928 года они состояли на вооружении уже четырех эскадрилий. В том же году они стали использоваться в качестве бомбардировщиков-торпедоносцев, а в 1931-1933 годах часть цельнометаллических бомбардировщиков-торпедоносцев была переоборудована в буксировщики мишеней.
В общей сложности были выпущены 120 самолетов всех модификаций, они оставались в эксплуатации в Великобритании вплоть до 1934 года, а в 36-й эскадрилье, дислоцировавшейся в Сингапуре, даже до 1935 года. В дополнение к самолетам, строившимся для британских ВВС, компания собрала еще шесть самолетов Horsley Mk II смешанной конструкции для морской авиации Греции, а два трехместных торпедоносца-бомбардировщика со звездообразными двигателями Armstrong Siddeley Leopard II мощностью 800 л.с. были отправлены в Данию под обозначением Dantorp. Планировалось организовать лицензионный выпуск самолетов в самой Дании, но эти планы не были реализованы.
Ряд самолетов Horsley в период с 1926 по 1937 год использовались для испытаний двигателей.

The Hawker "Horsley," with Rolls-Royce "Condor" engine, now the Standard Day-Bomber of the Royal Air Force, is an aeroplane of outstanding merit. It was officially selected after competitive trials with other machines and has a remarkable all-round performance record. This illustration depicts the machine being tested by Flight Lieut. P. W. S. Bulman, at Brooklands.
LONDON - ? NON-STOP: This photograph shows the service type Hawker "Horsley" with Rolls-Royce "Condor" engine. It is on a similar machine, but considerably altered internally in order to carry more than 1,000 gallons of petrol, that an attempt is to be made this spring to beat the existing non-stop record (Paris - Jask). -

THE "CYGNET'S" BIG BROTHER: In spite of its powerful "Condor" engine, Mr. Bulman handles the Hawker "Horsley" as if it were a light 'plane, as these photographs show, and in his hands the manoeuvrability of the machine is extremely good.

-
Flight 1926-03 / Flight
A MODERN DAY-BOMBER: The Hawker "Horsley" is fitted with a Rolls-Royce "Condor" Engine of 650 h.p. The machine, it will be seen, is of very "clean" design, and is characterised by a bottom plane considerably smaller in span and chord than the top plane. The cowling around the engine is particularly neat.
-
Flight 1926-07 / Flight
The Hawker "Horsley." (Rolls-Royce "Condor") Although a day bomber like the Fairey "Fox," the Hawker "Horsley," is a vastly different type of machine. To begin with, it has a 700 h.p. Rolls-Royce "Condor" instead of the 430 h.p. of the "Felix," and secondly it has the usual excrescences upon which, apparently, the Air Ministry insists, or insisted until Mr. Fairey produced the "Fox." Also it is a very much larger machine than the "Fox." For all that, the "Horsley" has proved itself a very fine machine, and the internal arrangement of all the paraphernalia is something to be wondered at. The "Horsley" has now gone into quantity production.

WHERE IS THAT BATTLESHIP? The Hawker "Horsley" torpedo-carrier, with Rolls-Royce "Condor" engine, is the latest form which this surprising machine has taken. Normally, it is the standard bomber of the R.A.F., but has also been produced as a long-distance aeroplane.
J8006 is making a very low pass at Brooklands. -

-
Aviation Historian 41 / T.Jenkins - Guts, No Glory
The Horsley selected for the RAF’s distance record flight, J8607, was in most ways a standard Service example of the type, with no major alterations to fuselage structure, wings or engine; the only substantial departure from standard was the addition of an extensive fuel-tank system within the fuselage and wing centre-sectons.

Initially named the Kingston, the Horsley was a large two-bay biplane day bomber designed by Sydney Camm under the direction of W.G. Carter in 1924. Here Horsley II J8606 has its cowlings removed to show its 650 h.p. 12-cylinder upright 60° Vee water-cooled poppet-valve Rolls-Royce Condor IIIA engine, as fitted to J8607 and J8608, the two long-range Horsleys built for the record attempt.

FLIGHT TOWARDS INDIA: These three views show the Hawker "Horsley" with Rolls-Royce "Condor" engine on which Lieuts. Carr and Gillman are attempting a non-stop flight from England to India. The machine, it will be seen, has undergone remarkably small external changes, and is to outward appearances almost identical with the standard service type of machine in use by the R.A.F. To have managed to stow some 1,100 gallons of petrol into the machine without spoiling its remarkably clean lines is something of an achievement.

THE FLIGHT TOWARDS INDIA: Three photographs of the Hawker "Horsley" in flight, piloted by Lieut. Bulman, during tests at Brooklands.
Horsley J8607 during a test flight at Brooklands. Note the darker sections of the forward fuselage comprising the extra-long-range fuel tanks. In total, seven fuel tanks were fitted to J8607; one immediately forward of the pilot’s cockpit; two more in front of that separated by struts, on top of which were two more, plus two in the centre-sections of the top wing. -

J8607 photographed from one of the three Horsleys which accompanied it to the English east coast, where it was met by a flying-boat for the crossing of the North Sea to Belgium, which was reached in a little more than two hours. The Horsley was so heavily laden with fuel that at its take-off weight of 14,360lb (6,514kg), the wing-loading was some 20lb/ft2.

An air-to-air study of the second long-range Horsley, J8608, which twice failed on record attempts.
The second long-distance Horsley, J8608, was used for two subsequent attempts on the England-India non-stop record, both with Carr at the controls. Both failed, but Flight described Carr as having “set an example of devotion to duty ... which must remain a glorious example for the younger generation of the RAF to live up to”. -

Carr flies up close to another machine (from which these photographs were taken) in order to signal to Flight-Lieut. Bulman (who was piloting the second machine) that he is having trouble. A few minutes afterwards oil was seen to spurt from the machine, and it was then Carr made his decision to land at Martlesham.

THE IMPROMPTU SAFETY DEMONSTRATION: The upper photograph shows the Hawker "Horsley" taking off from Cranwell aerodrome. In the centre is depicted the historic moment when Flight-Lieut. Carr landed the machine without Straining a single thing. Note the little puff of dust where the wheels first touched, and also that the landing was a "three-point" one. The lower photograph shows the machine at Martlesham just after landing. It is quite obvious that the machine is intact, even to its Palmer tyres.
