| Barry, 07.06.2016 16:19 Designed by Karlis Irbitis (hence 'I') this two seat sports and touring aeroplane first flew on the 26th June 1937. It went on a European sales tour and took part in competitions such as the Thanet Air Race where it came fifth and was awarded first prize for the best turned out aircraft.
