German?
Those sheds look very modern. Is this a museum piece with sepia applied to 'age' it?

Not German.

It's an original photograph and the hangars are not modern.

I have sepia tinted it to make it more attractive.

Had to break off for a while there....moving quickly today

An Aeronca C3 look-a-like, with a different tail. There were a few companies manufacturing similar looking machines in the US, but other than the UK build version I can't think of any European examples. Any connection with Aeronca?

No connection with Aeronca mate.

Nail the country and it will be easy.
