1. Title: "Comper CLA.7 Swift G-ABTC at Shoreham Airshow, 1974". This photograph showcases the sleek and agile Comper CLA.7 Swift, registration number G-ABTC, during the Shoreham Airshow in 1974. The Comper CLA.7 Swift is a British single-engine, two-seat, low-wing monoplane, designed for the primary training of pilots in the Royal Air Force and civilian aviation. The image captures the Swift's distinctive features, including its all-metal construction, rounded canopy, and retractable landing gear. The plane's vibrant red and white paint scheme adds a striking contrast against the blue sky and lush green grass of the airfield. The propeller blades spin gracefully, indicating the plane is ready for takeoff or a thrilling aerobatic display. The Comper CLA.7 Swift was a popular choice for both military and civilian pilots due to its excellent handling characteristics and versatility. With a top speed of 160 miles per hour and a range of over 500 miles, the Swift was an efficient and capable aircraft for its time.

The 1974 edition of the show provided an excellent opportunity for aviation enthusiasts to witness the Comper CLA.7 Swift in action, showcasing its impressive maneuverability and grace in the skies above Shoreham. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of aviation history and the iconic designs that continue to inspire awe and admiration.
