Tipsy Belfair / Trainer     


The Belfair was basically a post-war cabin version of the Tipsy B which was first flown in 1935. Twenty Tipsy B's were built in Belgium prior to the war. The Tipsy Trainer (18 built) was constructed in England by Tipsy Aircraft Ltd.   Several examples of the Belfair and Trainer  remain airworthy. A Tipsy Trainer is illustrated below.
