Yes that would be helpul because I ran a text search on "XB-70" and "Valkyrie" before posting the image, and it didn't return a result.

Someone go ahead and post another

Thanks cringe. That was some crazy aircraft,
I do not think this will cause much problem.

Correct Sir. What does it take to beat you? You have control.

An autogyro perhaps - one of Mad Ken Wallis's?

The Italians seem awfully keen on them, so perhaps a Magni?

Not a Pipistrelle, Ghengis, but you're on the right lines.

Is it possible that the picture reversed left to right? It's a glider, probably two-seater training judging by the colour scheme, but the air-brake is on the right rather than left as I, in my limited experience, would expect. Canopies tend to hinge to the right to allow entry from the left too, which adds to the reflection supposition.

Or I could be horribly, and embarassingly, wrong.....

It's not a glider, aerobelly, and it has no canopy, just a windscreen.

Aha, in which case, possibly...

A Sirocco?

Genghis is correct.

An Aviasud Sirocco, quite a sexy machine (for a microlight in those days), at Weston Green, mid 1980's, if I recall correctly.
