Hello Oskar, I found a photo of some old tip flyers and found a name for
you in Canada, the year was 1915,his name was Mr Hamilton Ontario Canada,
he was flying his rollers 4to 6 hours Some old clubs from England.
Nott's tippler club, Liverpool tippler club, Coventry tippler club, Derby
tippler club, Stoke tippler club, Darlington tippler club, Monkwearmouth
tippler club, Roker tippler club, and Gateshead tippler club., A Mr Lister
flew in 1912 on Tyneside 10hrs 52 mins winning a gold cup and 5 shillings 25
pence in new money now, But what about GOLD cup the cups are plastic now,
Sunderland had a record fly in 1920 a Mr William Little flying 17 hours
05mins with 3 prints young birds winning 50 pence and World Record with
young birds, but was disqualified because it was a old bird fly, and he was
flying against old birds What a bummer, Hope you like a bit of history Kind
Regards Barney
