Designed by RFC veteran Nicholas Comper, the Swift was built for the private flying market. The prototype was flown around Christmas 1929. Production was underway in 1930 with three variants being offered; the cheapest at £400 powered by the 40 h.p. Scorpion, next by the 50 h.p. Salmson AD9 and lastly the Pobjoy-engined Swift. The 75 h.p. Pobjoy R Swifts were popular for racing, and some had 110 h.p. Gipsy IIIs. This aircraft was owned by Alex Henshaw who won the Siddeley Challenge Trophy in 1933.
