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.

Peter Channon's Comper Swift back at Redhill shortly after having to abandon his attempt to re-create Arthur Butler's 1931 England-Australia 9-day flight in G-ABRE. G-ABTC left Biggin Hill on 28 December 1981 but had to make a forced landing in Jask, Iran in March 1982 due to a faulty distributor rotor arm. Channon was refused permission to proceed to Pakistan and instead flew back to Dubai from where the Swift was air-freighted to Gatwick and then flown the short hop to Redhill. Understood to be under restoration by Peter Channon near Perranporth, Cornwall in 2017.

When Arthur Butler arrived at Tooraweenah after his flight from the UK, he taxied to the main street and stopped outside Garling's Commercial Store. He had been courting the Garlings' daughter and proposed to her. She accepted. After World War II, the tiny town of Tooraweenah would became a hub second only to Sydney for Butler Air Transport but is now well and truly off the world airline map. Garling's store was demolished long ago but the shed with the panelled door to the left stood until at least 2008. It too is now gone.
