Morning mate.

Looks like a well-known British glider, but would I post that?

Not British I'm afraid.

Any connection with the SG-38....there are a lot of similarities....an updated licence built version? Maybe American?

Not that I'm aware.

It certainly isn't American. I suppose you'll now start knocking off countries until you get a hit......

Something a bit bigger now. Clock is ticking......no clues!
