The Mouse's centre section was built as a separate unit. Note the sliding seats, the wheels retracted between the spars and the elbow joints upon which the wings folded.

Nick Comper demonstrating the Mouse on a dull January day in 1934 just before flying the aircraft to RAF Martlesham Heath for handling trials. Note the retracted wheels protruding sufficiently to minimise damage in the event of a wheels-up landing.

The one and only Mouse photographed at Heston soon after it was completed in September 1933. The name Mouse probably derived from Comper's friend Flt Lt E. H. “Mouse” Fielden (later Air Vice-Marshal Sir Edward Fielden GCVO CB DFC AFC, and at one time Captain of the King's Flight). The aircraft is seen here fitted with a tailskid.

On Christmas Eve 1933 the Mouse was accidentally landed at Heston with the wheels retracted. Damage was slight, and restricted to the propeller.
