OK guys. As in ice-hockey, please take your positions as the referee (me) is going to slam the puck on the ice for you both at the same time:
Answer: There is, isn't there?
Answer: No, Yes.
Ach: Gets too complex (Doug Adams RIP): No French engine, aircraft not from France, but the aircraft from the same country as the engine.
An uncanny resemblance to the Dewoitine d.513
I'm thinking French engine, aircraft from elsewhere.

Would this be the Hispano HS.50
Designed by Emile Dewoitine for Hispano-Suiza while in exile from occupied France in Spain, and developed based on Dewoitine D.520 with indigenous (Sic!) Hispano-Suiza engine.
Open House as requested.

Guten Tag Reg, 
Ulbi Wild Thing ??
The features seem to fit the silhouette quite well, although I haven't got time to find a side view. However, I did find the link below, and it doesn't fit-in too well with your clues, so maybe it isn't!!!

Off to work now and anticipate a really hectic day, so I'd better ask for an Open House just in case it is correct!
Edited: just realised why my search wasn't too good
