Switch panel appears labelled in Dutch (or Flemish) doubtful German.
Piston engine watercooled and probably supercharged due boost gauge.
VSI and turn and slip so it was intended to fly. But why/how those yet no altimerter or ASI unless it wasn't expected to move fast or much off the ground yet vertical speed was important?
Two very prominent Air Pressure gauges, clearly of importance. Very odd.

I've been thinking tipjet helicopter but no rotor RPM gauge. Autogyro needs one too (plus an ASI)
FAKKEL is Dutch & German for torch (igniter? flare?) but appears to be associated with cb's , not a switch.
H-SHAK means H-check in Dutch and German.
The rotary switch labelled AAN UIT INEN means on, off, in in Dutch, meaningless in German.
Structure is very lightweight and insubstantial.

Good challenge!
