Tiger Moth G-ANSM

Anyone got Tiger Moth G-ANSM in their log book on what appears to be a visit to Exeter in the sixties? I've got a 3" x 3" b&w Ilford photo of it - dark fuselage, light registration, wings and tailplane. No other markings. There's an unidentified glider (partially obscured by the left wing) and two men -maybe pilots - standing on the other side. The picture was taken from the fence on the Aeroclub side of the airfield. It might have been taken by me or a school friend, I can't recall what I did yesterday, never mind nearly fifty years ago...
I found the following link to a Pprune thread back in 2006 while I was searching its history.
I'd be happy to pass the photo on to anyone with a reasonable claim to being connected with it.

G-ANSM

Bet it was Geoff Tregonning who had gone to retrieve one of the gliders of the Devon and Somerset gliding club. He did most of the flying in G-ANSM in those days. Colour scheme was a maroon fuselage with silver wings. Happy days indeed.
