Reminds me of a friend's K6, but then many gliders of that ilk look similar, especially with customised panels

A K6 it is not, it's not even German.

Schweizer, possibly a 2-32?

Sorry, not a 2-32









But a Schweizer indeed :ok:
Shouldn't take long now

Looks remarkably like a 1-26 to me?

Remarkably is the word :ok: :ok:

Incidentally, the 1-26 is featured in the aero scene in "The Thomas Crown Affair" with Faye Dunaway and Steve MacQueen

The Yahoo list seems to have gone walkies, so this may have appeared before - one I took last Tuesday:

It was the 1-26's higher performance cousin, the 1-23.

Apparently this one: http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/N9860E.html

India Four Two : I stand corrected, thanks

Fitter2 : your pic is a bit large to fit ;) nicely in a computer screen

I'd say some older Schemp-Hirth glider, Nimbus II per chance ?
You seem to have a strange mixture of metric and imperial instruments, hopefully the altimeter is in feet or your legs woud be a bit chilly at 4 000 m ;)

Not a Kircheim product. And you demonstrate the trials of reading 3-pointer altimeters. 14,000ft (and climbing at 800fpm) is over 4,000 metres, but my knees weren't chilly at all.

One is puzzled as it doen't look like a Schleicher, nor an LS, nor a Grob, and definitely not a DG ;) and a Polish glider would have PZL instruments ...

Some obscure Glasflügel maybe ?

It is German, from one of the larger manufacturers mentioned.

It is a flapped ship (ASI white ring)

Rolladen-Schneider LS3 per chance ?

the two part panel being some sort of a clue (and VNE matches)

No, nothing from the LS stable. First flight a few years later than the LS3

Out of despair, one would say Schleicher ASW-20,
not really convinced, though ...

Out of Poppenhausen indeed. But not one of Gerhard Waibel's, strictly speaking.

ASH-25 !!

I knew I had seen that cockpit, although not flown it :ugh:

Open house

Yes indeed.

Lack of chilliness of knees due to location being S29 E26.

Thanks Fitter2. :ok:

No pics at hand so open house

twelve hours later, still no post so here is one to keep the thread running

A bit surprised it hasn't been posted already, but I couldn't find it in the December list
