J. Graham, Comper works manager, surveys the Streak, with Comper sitting in the cockpit, at Heston in April 1934.
After the aileron flutter scare on the first flight, ailerons with mass balances were fitted. Here the modified Streak, with Nick Comper in the cockpit, is awaiting chocks for startup on its second flight.

The Streak, bearing civil registration G-ACNC, makes a low flypast at Heston in April 1934 for the benefit of Flight’s photographer. Note how the retracted wheels protrude, and the glazed panel just below the windscreen affording the pilot additional vision forward and downward.
In this flyover the undercarriage in retracted position shows the lower part of the wheels still projecting. Ignoring the side window, the pilot is leaning to his right to view the photographer directly.

The Streak at the time of the 1935 King’s Cup race. Note the addition of undercarriage doors - presumably an attempt to coax extra knots out of the racer.

CLEAN LINES: The "Gipsy Major" engine of the Comper "Streak" has been very cleanly faired in, but the cowling at the same time provides adequate cooling. Another view of the Streak before the addition of mass-balances.
This side view shows one of the two windows in the fuselage sides just ahead of the cockpit which provided the pilot with a forward and downward view either side of the nose. The standard Gipsy Major carburetter intake shows on the right cowling.

Airborne at Heston on a post-registration flight, Streak G-ACNC is flying over the photographer before climbing away during a demonstration.
The Streak demonstrates its smart take-off capabilities at Heston.
