OO-TIB  Avions Fairey (Tipsy) Belfair                                  (c/n  532)

                               

                                  Designed by Ernest Oscar Tips, the Belfair was an enclosed cabin variation of the popular
                                  Tipsy B..  Unfortunately the price of this machine in the immediate post war era, where many
                                  ex-military aircraft were available, was unsustainable, and only three were built in Belgium.
                                  Three more airframes were sold to D. Heaton and completed in the U.K.     OO-TIB was
                                  sold to New Zealand in December 1954 as ZK-BGZ.   Sadly, it crashed near Rotorua on
                                  8 December 1956.
