Since last I saw it, this lovely Swift has been re-painted with its original British registration, though it still carries its correct Australian registration in small letters under the tailplane. Built in 1932 as one of 3 Gipsy-powered racers and registered G-ABWH. Raced in the 1932 King's Cup air race. Shipped to the USA in 1933 where it raced at Cleveland as NC27K. Returned to the UK in 1934, then to Australia and registered VH-ACG on 19 July 1939. Rebuilt over 16 years 1971-87 by Doug Muir in Perth. Now with Roy Fox in Sydney.

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. ABC Scorpion, next by the 50 h.p. Salmson AD9 and lastly the Pobjoy P-engined Swift. The 75 h.p. Pobjoy R Swifts were popular for racing, and some had 110 h.p. in-line Gipsy IIIs and Gipsy Major Is. This aircraft was owned by Alex Henshaw who won the Siddeley Challenge Trophy in 1933.
