Jodel D-150 Mascaret
Jean Delemontez designed the D.150 Mascaret in 1961 as a lighter two-seat replacement for his earlier Jodel D.11 trainer, basing it on the three/four-seat Jodel Ambassadeur but with a shortened fuselage and reduced wingspan. Named after the tidal bore that surges up the Seine estuary, it first flew on 2 June 1962 and entered production the following year, built in wood like all Delemontez's designs, with the distinctive upturned outer wing panels shared across the Jodel family. Société Aéronautique Normande completed 61 factory-built aircraft, and more than 100 further examples have since been completed from plans by amateur constructors.
