Tipsy Trainer G-AFVN c/n 12 was built in 1939 and registered on 15 July 1939. It was painted in a camouflage scheme and used by the RAF during World War Two. From October 1945 the aircraft was returned to the civil register as G-AFVN. It had several owners but in 2003 it was grounded. On 21 November 2006 when it was withdrawn from use and deregistered.
