Регистрационный номер: G-ABTO [16] The C.25 flying with enlarged fin in April 1932. The autogiro was still directionally unstable and still more fin area was required.

Air-Britain Archive 2005-01 / J.Meaden, M.Fillmore - The Comper lightplanes /The Whole Truth/ (6)
Регистрационный номер: G-ABTO [16] 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. -

Регистрационный номер: G-ABTO [16] Nick Comper admiring his handiwork at Hanworth on April 27, 1933. Note the position of the C.25’s pitot tube high on the rotor pylon.

Регистрационный номер: G-ABTO [16] 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. -

Регистрационный номер: G-ABTO [16] 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.

Air-Britain Archive 2005-01 / J.Meaden, M.Fillmore - The Comper lightplanes /The Whole Truth/ (6)
Регистрационный номер: G-ABTO [16] 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. -

Регистрационный номер: G-ABTO [16] 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.

Регистрационный номер: G-ABTO [16] The Comper-built Cierva C.25, G-ABTO, during construction at Comper's Hooton Works in January 1932. The fuselage was probably taken off the Swift production line and modified.

Регистрационный номер: G-ABTO [16] The C.25 under construction at Hooton Park Aerodrome in January 1932. The fuselage was probably taken off the Swift production line and modified. Note the location of the fuel tank at the base of the wooden pylon, the deeper fuselage decking and the braced winglets. The 85 h.p. Pobjoy Cataract radial engine is in place - the C.25 was ready to fly the following month.

Регистрационный номер: G-ABTO [16] 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. -
