Is it an air racer? Similar to a Mew Gull?

Not a racer Bri described as a single-seat light low-wing monoplane aircraft. Certainly not as attractive as the Mew Gull.

Regarding Bri's suggestion the challenge aircraft is a stark contrast to the Mew gull.

G'day Mel.

stark contrast to the Mew gull.
So, a very ugly French machine? Most ugly Frogs were multi-engined, but this one is a single?

Hi Graeme. This aircraft was built by Stark but it is not a Turbulent.

Not the Salvay-Stark Skyhopper, David. This aircraft was from Europe.

You have it Graeme . The Starck AS70 "Jac"

The AS-70 was developed during 1945 as a single-seat light low-wing monoplane aircraft to serve the early postwar needs of French private pilots and aero clubs. It is of mixed welded steel tube and wooden construction with fabric covering, and is fully aerobatic. A small series of Jacs was constructed by Avions Starck. These were fitted with a range of engines with power outputs of between 45 to 65 hp (34 to 48 kW)

You have control.

A twin, but only power levers and prop rpm, so suspect a turboprop.

edit: a mockup?

Yes a turboprop. Not a mock up, but the aircraft was under construction when the photo was taken.
