Military attack helicopter?-Yes
European? - Sort of (go East young man)
The vertical louvers - are they normally there?- yes

Ahhh.....thanks mate! 
Took a bit of finding, but I found a 'walkaround' site with the illustration below. But even then I had to increase the contrast to see those louvers. Intriguing!
I'm hoping it's the Mil-28?

Couple of clues then.
An armoured close-support aircraft from WWI. According to wiki, over 200 were built and none were lost in combat. Must-a-been tough!

Hi Karl,
I think that's the Monsted-Vincent Star Flight before it got a bad attack of the wind
Sorry, but it'll have to be an OH if correct as very busy tomorrow!

Yes indeed Trevor, it is the Monsted-Vincent MV-1 Starflight. 
Only one produced....
....and in later life flipped over in hurricane winds. She may still be in a warehouse somewhere but ultimate fate unknown.
Open House per SincoTC

It got clobbered twice.
Obviously it did not have enough "hurricane resistance" in the design
from this site with some more photos

This aircraft was at the Wedell-Williams Memorial Aviation Museum at Patterson, La
In 1992 hurricane Andrew wrecked the aircraft.
After the remains of this aircraft were put in a storage hangar, in 2005 the hangar and aircraft were destroyed by hurricane Rita.
