Are you talking about Donnet-Leveque Type C of which two were purchased to Denmark in 1913 and named Maagen (Seagull) and Ternen (Tern), later changed to Maagen 1 and Maagen 2. Maagen 2 has been restored as Maagen 3 and is now in a museum in Denmark.

There is evidently some conflict over what the aircraft is and who made it. According to the website I found it on it is called the OV Flyvebad FBIII, manufactured by the Naval Dock Yard of Copenhagen, as opposed to the Maagen I and II which were purchased Donnet-Leveque aircraft.
Noyade has posted the image of the challenge aircraft.
I'm going to close this challenge and declare Open House.

Wot's going on?
I should add that another source refers to the same picture as the OV Flyvebad Maagen II which raises further doubt, since the Maagen II was the name used for French built Donnet Leveque's! One for further research I think!
