The photograph gives us the impression that the aircraft is an old aircraft possibly 1950s or earlier. However the 'Y' control column has been used on several recent home-built aircraft such as the CH701 and Savannah MXP-740 which also have similar intrument panel layouts. Are you able to give approximate age of the aircraft Bri.

Mel is correct
The Skandinavisk Aero Industri (SAI) KZ-VII 'Lark' was in production from 1947 to 1952. Nicknamed the 'Danish Storch' it was designed with leading-edge slots for good short-field performance.
You have control.

Photo# 5 confirms my guess.
I have a book with a side on photo and the profile fitted pretty well.
The first F.N.305 flew on the 19th February 1935 and was piloted by a chap named Arturo Ferratelli. It was powered by a Fiat A.70S radial engine.
To meet orders, Nardi licensed Piaggio who built 258 305A's with Alfa-Romeo 115 powerplant.
Even IAR built 124 305's powered by the license built 6G-1 engine (DH Gipsy Six)
There was also a long range version (305D) that had a Walter Bora radial that made a record breaking flight (in its class) from Rome Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Heres the next challenge:
Good Luck!

Dan Winterland and Fitter2.
Not German or French, but is a glider from the early 60's.
I have removed some text from this photo as it would have been a dead giveaway if put into a search engine.

Well done evansb
I had never seen one until I stumbled across one on the internet.
There was a sign "STANI OVDE"painted on the floor, I guess translates to "No Step" in Yugoslavian.
Floor is yours evansb
