Morning RR...not a Falke model, Slingsby or Scheibe.

Nothing from the night shift so I guess so help may be needed:

It was first produced in the 70's, and then production recommenced in the late 90's in a modified form.

LM, I know you have been away but you do need to curb your enthusiasm!

WK is correct, it is the AVO-68 Samburo . Designed and built in Austria in the 1970's, production recommenced in Germany in 1999 and it remains in production today, albeit in much modified form.

You have control WK, so back to you LM!

I wa tempted to suggest a Fokker but it isn't angular enough. I'm going to start with the Italians, don't know why!

There's something hidden well in there. Could it be politics?
