Not a Slingsby. Not from GB. Aircraft had a MTOW of 2,100 kg.

An educated guess is that the tubes are recognition flare holders. I've got no idea what airframe they're attached to though...

Rallye ST150?

Re the last challenge...Interesting ... and just curious...why would Sweden feel the need to develop a military transport glider at this time?

I don't know what type it is, but the fake wood grain dash and chrome bezel Stewart Warner engine gauges fairly scream 1970s American.

You might be right to a certain extent but the aircraft is not american and a bit older.

Oui monsiuer, it is indeed the CP-30 Emeraude, whose design led to the CAP family. The one pictured has a C- registration, hence the american-looking dashboard

Re the translation... I typed "Here is today's cockpit challenge." into Google translate and that was what it came up with...
who am I to argue.

Sorry... not the Sturgeon or relative even.

After posting I checked re the Sturgeon (I also read the instruction book after breaking things) so no surprise there.

There is a distinctly Gallic look though to the aircraft now I look at it again and I don't think it's just your French translation.
