Time to move on. This is the French Marchaudon Scarabee from 1936-37? A search will lead you to another forum where it is discussed.
Open board-
Not a Russian effort. This little 40hp garden shed was roadable, although finding a photo of it roading would be a small miracle at this point.
There are a couple of references on the net. One is where the photos came from. They were lifted from a 1930’s magazine.
Here is an oddity to consider.
Not sure what your unknown is offhand.
Palm trees give it away. It’s a Walraven W.4.
Right in your wheelhouse Wout. 😀 Over to you.
Powered by a Pobjoy Cataract 75-hp radial it would seem.
Stepping away momentarily from the rich vein of Golden Age French rarities…
Mauboussin 121/35.
Yup, that’s the one! Was not the best set of photos.
Got any more 1930’s French rarities AA?:diablo:
AA- I have been looking for a good photo (or any photo for that matter!) of the Mistral for about three years now. I was wonderfully surprised to see you post one, even if poor quality. Until now, the only visual reference I have had is the model you described.
Could you possibly post the unaltered photo with F-ANJQ in view?
Here is a WOT that is a contemporary of the AS.10 and about as obscure as well…
Armella-Senemaud AS.10 “Mistral”.
Yes, I am sure.
What is interesting is that this early 1920’s design had the same designation as a later parasol model from 1929.
I quoted myself! :p
Right. The Farman F.200 to be exact.

Over to RAB-
Sorry, I was referring to the vertical stabilizer and rudder. The long triangular shape and scalloped edge.
