In its final form, the C.11 had a new, pyramidal pylon and a shaft drive from the 120 h.p. Airdisco engine to the rotor hub.

View of the newly completed C.10 at Yate, early 1928. The peculiar broad-chord rotor blades are apparent, as are the “stabilisers” and the tall tailskid. Note the pitot tube projecting from the rotorhead.

A unique photograph depicting J9038 in its second form, after its second mishap, on November 5, 1928, piloted by Cierva test pilot A. H. Rawson. The new, wider-track undercarriage and the telescopic struts supporting the rotor blades are evident.

During taxi trials at Yate on April 26, 1928, when Avro test pilot Flt Lt H. A. Hamersley was in the cockpit, the Parnall C.10 was badly damaged when it turned on its side. It was rebuilt only for to crash on take-off at Andover, Hampshire, on November 5, 1928.
