Регистрационный номер: G-ABTO [11] The C.25 under construction at Hooton Park Aerodrome in January 1932. The fuselage was probably taken off the Swift production line and modified. Note the location of the fuel tank at the base of the wooden pylon, the deeper fuselage decking and the braced winglets. The 85 h.p. Pobjoy Cataract radial engine is in place - the C.25 was ready to fly the following month.

Регистрационный номер: G-ABTO [11] Nick Comper flying the C.25 at Hanworth. The original balsa rotor blades were a dismal failure - standard rib and fabric blades were fitted after the C.25 was damaged on its first flight.
