Tipsy Belfair G-APOD

Only 7 years late replying to your query, Roger.
I was told I had a half-share in APOD in 1984, when it was hangared at Sywell. It appears in my log-book only once, but I remember it as a pleasant, tractable and gentle little machine. There was a rumour that it had been owned by Amy Johnson at one stage, but there was some conflicting counter-rumour that it could not have been so (due to dates and positioning). I understood that Mr Tipps named the type “Belfair” as a contraction of two significantly relevant names, i.e. Belgium and Fairey. It’s all speculative and probably completely wrong and it’s not my intention to start some sort of counter-speculative interminable argument. If my informastion is not kosher, then I accept that without a struggle.
