A San Jodel DR1050 of the Cawdor Flying Group departing Inverness Airport SCO 2477
Jean Delemontez's work with Pierre Robin's Centre Est Aeronautique (CEA), later renamed Avions Robins, is well known. The CEA Jodel Robin was based on Jean Delemontez's earlier D10 concept, a four seater whose wing had been constructed but then shelved when the D11 work became more urgent. Together with Pierre Robin Jean Delemontez took the Jodel Robin through the DR100, 200 and nosewheel DR300/400 series between 1957 and 1972. The progression of the DR series was: DR100 - First produces with 90 hp Continental C90 DR105 - As for the DR 100, but with hydraulic brakes DR1050 - As for the DR 105, but with 100 hp Rolls Royce or Continental O-200 engine. DR1051 - As for the DR 1050, but with 105 hp Potez 4E20 engine. Later versions of the DR 1050 and 1051 had a revised tailplane design, giving the model a greater Centre of Gravity range. These models were designated DR 1050 M and DR 1051 M and carried the names Excellence for SAN built models and Sicile Record for those constructed by CEA. This name originated from the 1964 Round Sicily Rally, which was won by Pierre Robin at an average speed of 162 mph (in a 105 hp 4 seater!!) DR 1051 a member of the DR 100 family The DR 100 series was succeeded by the Robin DR 200 range of aircraft, being very similar to the DR 100's. The DR 200 series started with the DR 220, of which 83 were built in 1967.
