Where's the front mate?
Left thing seems a... drogue chute?
A... single wing asymmetric glider with a drogue chute?

You're looking from the rear and below - the front is to the right.

Cameras were not good back then.

Wannanuther clue?

Guess one can't remember everything he sees...

Let's see if any of you have already seen this one!
