Hmm. I'm thinking an Italian twin jet, but can't remember the name! However, the roof of the hangar looks very like Duxford, so I'm getting doubts about everything!

 

[Marcogrifo]

Sorry, not italian and not Duxford.

But it also ain't french or swiss or dutch or spanish or swedish or...Ach! Should I say more?

Experimental aircraft preserved in the local manufacturer's museum.

Yes, it's german postwar prototype (guess which german aircraft manufacturers survived the WWII...).
