If it is correctly scaled we are looking at something interesting.
Edit to say that this challenge may turn frustrating, but there are 3D, pictures of the aircraft and a drawing of the cockpit in the web (at least).

European, yes, not European union, though. Very, in fact, but you have to go to 18th century to appreciate it fully. And that's why it is not British.
Memories haunt? Not too much. My grandma was born not so far from the place this was built, though. Her and my grandpa's 100th wedding anniversary is this year. Nothing haunts us. We do some.
1962. And the last not much thereafter.

So first flight, say late '60 early '61

Try to understand Reg. My only assignment on a foreign country in Primary School was Monaco. Does it still exist? I think I got 6/10 for it and it was mostly cuttings from a National Geographic. I preferred the pictures of naked black girls. Pretty much the extent of my Geographical knowledge...
France?....

Graeme, Monaco was still there when I visited it a few years back. Has a superb Maritime museum but no airport, so no place for you, me pal.
France, no. Let me put it this way: There was a guy, called Pete. Tall guy, so some called him great. He went to Holland to learn manual work as ship builder (a good trade for an emperor, who otherwise had just been drinking champagne and been a no-good).
He then built his town based on Dutch ideas, and kept building ships. Some underlings got the idea to propose Peter, for Pete's sake, to call the town St. Pete'sburg, but they, poor bastards, lacked the apostrophe. So, they transcribed the town's name to Sankt Petersburg.
A funny guy, who, after living in Switzerland, took a nick-name according to a river where some insurgents had been beaten down, and stormed for half a decade or so around as Lenin (meaning: the chap from Lena river), died, and some underlings of this new emperor gave the same town the name of Leningrad. And there was this little aircraft built and named according to it's native town.

You got it all wrong, Graeme 
.
That went for Monaco Maritime museum only.
Fight!
I will be around until tomorrow sometimes in the morning - then away over the weekend. Please solve this by then. All ingredients are there. Airwar is our friend.
Good night (European) for now!
