What Cockpit? MK V
Sorry mate, not from de Havilland Canada.

Open cockpit (note the gloves), Gipsy Major, European.
How about the 1930s Dutch Lambach HL I? The cockpit seems too messy and too dated to be the 1990s replica, but the electrical system makes it look like a post-war aircraft. Also the mag switches are labelled Kontakt, which is German rather than Dutch.
Having said all that and reviewed the picture, I see it has a modern radio, so it cannot be the HL1 which was destroyed in a air raid.
So like Speedpig, I'm running out of ideas. Mel's idea of "easy" is different than mine
Based purely on the mag switch label, is it German?

Mel's Challenge
Facts to date. This aircraft had a DH Gypsy Major engine. It did have an open cockpit and it was not built by Poland, Belgian, Holland,Germany or France come to that.
It is not the Ikarus Aero 2.
It first flew post WWII. I believe there is still one of these aircraft still airworthy.

It's Danish
Mags labelled Kontakt which is German, but not Dutch. CB labelled Olie (with Dymo) which is Dutch but not German.
Mel ruled out Dutch and German, so I started searching Scandinavia for Gipsy Majors and here it is, in glorious colour:

The rear cockpit of an SAI KZ II - another previously unknown to me Gipsy Major engined trainer.
"Easy" - surely Sir, you jest?
Did you post it in black and white for period atmosphere or just to put us off the scent?
And another thing I learned today during my quest - Dymo labels were introduced in 1958.
