Most published sources have claimed that the C25 never carried its registration, but Comper later flew it cross-country to other airfields for which carrying a registration was a legal requirement. Fully-painted, G-ABTO is seen here with de Havilland C24 autogyro G-ABLM.

Types of Machine in the King's Cup Race (4) Comper "Kite," Pobjoy "Niagara" 90 h p engine.
When pushed out for photographs. the Kite looked just what it was, a low wing Comper Swift with two seats, but it seems that Comper buyers had already settled for solo flying in the Swift.

The Kite airborne in racing guise showing the bottoms of the retracted wheels protruding, a feature which saved its stablemate, the Mouse, from serious damage during a wheels up landing.

This side elevation by Flight based on a Comper drawing shows the original intention to use a Streak-type fin and rudder which was noticeably shorter than the one finally chosen.

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.
The Comper/Cierva C25 was Comper's attempt to produce a Cierva-type autogyro based on a Swift fuselage. No registration was carried on the flight trials of G-ABTO which were taken over and flown at Hooton by Comper himself.

The C.25 in its final form. This view shows clearly how the rotor pylon blanked off the original single-fin tail unit. The outrigger fins solved the problem.
The layout of the Comper C25 autogiro is better seen in this head-on view than any other; wide wheel track, short span braced low wing and Swift narrow fuselage with tall central pylon supporting the three blade rotor.

After flying with increased area fin and rudder this was abandoned in favour of the two oval fins on the tailplane shown here, this final configuration being considered successful.
This view of the C.25 shows clearly the triple fin arrangement. The area of the elevators was considerably more than that of the Swift.

Initial flights of the C25 were made before the registration was applied. The aircraft was painted white with a large stylised bird in red, designed by P T Capon. Nick Comper soon took over to fly the autogyro himself.

The sorry sight of the C.25 following its first flight, made at Hooton on February 20, 1932.
Lack of directional stability with the central fin and rudder resulted in a lot of damage during Cierva's first attempt to fly the C25 on 20.3.32.
