Evening Ken,
You're correct (as usual
); it is the F+W N.20.2 Arbalete 
A partial scale test vehicle for the Aiguillon jet fighter (which has appeared on SC a while ago, but quite different in many aspects)
The one engine shown (with ghost intake) under the wing, was in reality mirrored onto the top of the wing too. The Alarm bells from an ambulance with a Red Cross, with colours inverted to form the Swiss Roundel on the tail

Seems to fit the clues nicely

First thought was something like the Northrop YA-9, but then realised that those boundary bleed holes in the lower pic were characteristic of fast pointy things designed in the fifties. Guessing Western Hemisphere; did it enter squadron service?
Its an SRN ... something, or the USN big one.
OH as required.
I built a small one of these to ride on across the airfield; it went very well except when crossing a grilled storm drain - it lost all lift!
