The Witch was the one and only prototype of a bomber built to specification 23/25. None of the contenders were selected for production. The Witch found use testing parachutes until 1931. The location is likely to be RAF Andover where the Witch and other Westland military aircraft of this era made their first flights. Photo from: Imperial War Museums
