Looks more like an Anderson product to me. A tiny Spitfire, but not a Baby Spit.

Very interesting engine. If you expand the picture you can see the small exhaust holes in the cyl. Very unusual. The front prop drive resembles some of the early Enya's. The cyl. head resembles a lot of the old engines from the late 40's through early 50's, and has been said the 4 bolt case looks like a McCoy. Also unusual is the way the cyl. is bolted on with what appears to be small studs and nuts.

It's a Micron 28, from France - capacity .30 cu. in. Details were shown on page 142 of the English 'Aeromodeller' annual of 1953. It had a ringed aluminium piston, weighed 6oz. and apparently turned a 10x4 wood prop. at 10,450 rpm. Looks quite useful for its time.

You get the Gold star John P. A simple Google search confirms it.
Micron .28
Name Micron 28 Designer unknown
Type Glow Capacity .28 cuin (4.58 cc)
Production run unknown Country of Origin France
Photo by David Owen Year of manufacture 1950-52
Notes:
David: The 28 is of '50-52 vintage. It is a beautifully made engine and absolutely one of my favourites. Light weight, nicely proportioned, but no doubt not up to contemporary power levels. Their artistry, both in aesthetics and execution will always enthrall me. Beautiful, glass hard cylinders, fine steel fins, superbly proportioned screws, magnificent needle valve assemblies and the feel of real pride and craftsmanship is something of which the French can be really proud.
