Not French, mate!

Tip:
Don't be intimidated or scared by the subject... overcome your anxiety and search through a worldwide record of fears...

Remotely similar to a Martin Baker MB1, but can't find any side views...
Is it British?

NOOOOO…………..

Last sentences are important.

Very few Miles aircraft have that shape of tail. Only other one I can think of is the M.17 Monarch?
