Country:  | This must be the famous "Nightmare", dreamed up by a Dexter Dopefish, a former civil servant during years and years of strenuous office sleep. Built by his brother in law and his rednecked pals after too much of self-inflicted brain cauterizing through home-brewed paint-thinner/beverage.

Country: | Looks like the contraption I posted even has Graeme stumped!
I was going to post a few clues but what the hell....
It is the Curtiss-Bleeker attempt at building a helicopter... at the Curtiss airport, Vally Stream, Long Island NY that eventually became famous as Grumman's facility.
...not a bad attempt given that no one was sure what a successful helicopter was supposed to look like....but a bit of a dead end only ever managed a few hops  Curtiss-Bleecker helicopter - development history, photos, technical data
Helicopters are weird anyway.... I prefer airplanes where the wings and fuselage all travel at the same speed | |

Without a doubt the very 'potential' Hawker P.1121 Hurricane. The best unwanted fighters of all time, page 1
What might of been, eh Wayne? 
Here's another project that was advanced at the time but extinguished quickly due to funding.
It didn't reach an advanced mock-up stage as your Hurricane... 
... so this is what it would have looked like...
