I could have told you that. Any useful clues?

It's the sort of thing the Italians would do.
1920s fuselage with 1930's high aspect ratio wing

so is it Italian?

Sorry LM, had to go out this morning - at the time there was no one online to tell!

Not French....cross the channel and you have the right country! The name of it does not sound British though

Morning all!
I was looking at Slingsby gliders yesterday evening... mainly because of the triangular tail (the angle is never this acute, however) and was about to ask if it was British...
Slingsby is definitely a British name however...
