OO-ULA Avions Fairey (Tipsy) Junior
(c/n J111)
Only two ultra-light Juniors, designed by Ernest O. Tips
were built by Fairey Aviation's Belgian
subsidiary,
Avions Fairey. The first one was OO-TIT which
was flown at the company airfield
at
Gosselies in June 1947. The second, seen above, was acquired by
the parent company in Hayes,
England in 1953
and given the U.K. registration G-AMVP. The Junior did not
sell well in the early
1950s and a third
machine was cancelled before being completed.
G-AMVP was still registered
into the new
millennium but is now no longer current.
