The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Thanks Rob. Soda it is - dear me, how awful it is, but one must pay for past indiscretion.......

Here's a bipe trainer that looks familiar - or is it ????
 
Come on, chaps, . Clue - Cirrus-Hermes IV engine.

But it's not British...not by a long way......there, I've given it away !
 
Still difficult to find, but I guess I was just lucky? If correct of course...

Tachikawa R-5 methinks.

Did need the Hermes tip though.

Strictly speaking, Keith, this was the Ishikawajima R-5, the Tachikawa name not being used until 1936 - this one dates back to '33.

However it is one and the same, so over to you, sir - a little cup of sake, perhaps ? :very_drunk:
 
Thanks Lefty, very generous of you. Must admit having found a picture of it I didn't look any further to find the name change!
The registration font seemed to remind me of Japanese aircraft.

For you floater types this might have appeared before, sorry if that is so.

Hi Lefty!
I'm stupid enough being unable to find on the net any information concerning either a Tachikawa R5 or Ishikawajima R5.
Would you be kind enough to let me have an appropriate link or advise some basic information about it?
Thanks BG
 
Thanks Keith.
