The "red aircraft" - do you mean the one in the picture entitled "G-AISA"? If you do, and if the registration number in the title is correct (because you can't actually make it out on the picture) then, from G-INFO, it would be a Tipsy Trainer 1, serial number 17, registered 15/11/2000. Never heard of Tipsy before, but it looks fun! :D

The other chap in a flying suit is SlipSlider - he flew me up from Goodwood in G-TIMP.

Tipsy Trainer it is. Don't know much about this but I guess some relationship with Tipsy Nipper?

G-AISA is a Tipsy Trainer 1, but it was first registered rather earlier than the date that you gave. it was built on the Slough Trading Estate in 1947 and was registered to the Tipsy Aircraft Co Ltd on 27.6.47, and flew for the Fairey Aviation Co Ltd until it was given to the Royal Naval Flying Club on 1st July 1949. It was later sold to the Armstrong Siddeley Flying Club at Bagington.
Nice looking aeroplane.
