Ernest Oscar Tips' life story

Hi Everyone,

I’m making a work on the life of Ernest Oscar Tips (the man who designed the Tipsy Nipper, Trainer, etc.)

I’m working on the question : What did E.Tips ment for the Belgian Aviation?

All info is very welcome

thanks

Last time I saw CORD, was at the PFA rally 2003.
Is it stored?

Robbie and the Nipper

Small world Mr Tipsy, Robbie is my usual pilot for photo flights, I did several air to air sorties for him and commentated at several of his displays. That is Urquhart Castle Loch Ness in the photo.
By the way saw Nipper GCORD this summer, its just sat in a small hanger at a UK midlands airstrip ,it has not moved for ages, what a waste.

Very nice, I know the former owner.
His last flight in that Nipper was an inverted one over Loch Ness

Tipsy

No, I am sorry but I don’t have any photos. A photo of the Belfair, G-APIE, has appeared in the pages of Today’s Pilot during the past year in the red and white colours that it had when I flew it. With more than 100 types flown I now wish I had my camera with me on more occasions

E O Tips

I have flown the Tipsy B, Belfair and Nipper. All a pleasure to fly. There was also the Tipsy Junior, but it.I wasn’t lucky enough to get my hands on
