06/30/2014. Remarks by
Johan Visschedijk: "Designed by Paul Delville, the C.510 Pélican four-seat tourer and ambulance aircraft was an extrapolation of the
C.282/8 Phalène. It had slightly larger over-all dimensions, although the wing area was some 6% smaller, while the 120 hp Renault 4Pdi was replaced by an 140 hp 4Pei engine. The pictured prototype was built using for economical reasons the vertical tail section of a C.282/8, hence the word Phalène (Moth) is vaguely visible.
The prototype was first flown in September 1934 and was registered F-ANCI on November 10, 1934. Subsequently the vertical tail was replaced by a larger, more efficient version, which became standard on all 62 produced C.510s."
