Tipsy Belfair G-APOD at Leeds-Bradford airfield.
This aircraft was probably one of the three Belfair airframes that were sold off when the company decided their construction was not viable in the 1950s. They were bought by D.Heaton, of Speeton, East Yorkshire and completed to flying status. G-APOD was almost certainly completed to airworthiness by Yorkshire Light Aircraft, at Leeds-Bradford airfield. It made its first flight on 11th November 1962 but was force landed just outside the airfield.
Pilot - Name unknown.
The aircraft was registered to Mr.Derek Athol Taylor, of Leven, East Riding of Yorkshire from 1958 but he doesn't appear to have known how to fly. In 1965 it was damaged in East Yorkshire with him flying as a passenger, being given instruction on how to fly.
This aircraft is mentioned in a number of webforum posts. One stated that having spoken to the "first owner of it who stated that he built it at his home next to Beverley airfield and then crashed it on his first solo". Perhaps this was befoe 1962? Another post refers to a crash in 1985-86.
