from the Joe Baugher, et al Military Aircraft Database:

Hawker Hart
(Britain)
(I-GB-A-B-B-N-IL1|AR1)
Single-engined biplane bomber. When it appeared, the Hart was faster than contemporary fighters. The design showed wat could be achieved by aerodynamic refinement and was very influential, but owed much to the earlier Fairey Fox light bomber, that was more or less ignored by the RAF. Like the Fox, the Hart had a close-cowled liquid-cooled engine, and much better streamlining than earlier bombers. The biplane wings were slightly swept. Over 950 built.
Type: Hart
Function: bomber
Year: 1929 Crew: 2 Engines: 1 * 390kW R.R. Kestrel IB
Wing Span: 11.35m Length: 8.94m Height: 3.17m Wing Area: 32.33m2
Empty Weight: 1148kg Max. Weight: 2066kg
Speed: 295km/h Ceiling: 6500m Range: 760km
Armament: 2*mg7.7mm 225kg
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Swedish Harts (that could be swedish markings on the plane), which flew with the Finns in the Swedish 19 Squadron, had Bristol radial engines (i'm sure the inline engine the Hart came with when it was manufactured in 1930 had to be replaced by 1940).
maybe its a Hawker Hind - very similar plane & export versions were with radial engines, but all pix i've seen of hinds are with tail wheels, not skids & their tail is not that round either
