Can anyone help me identify the sailplane in this photo:

I found it using Google Earth and am stumped... I
can't find any info
on it on the 'Net and am hoping you guys can point
me in the right
direction...

It has an approximate 107ft wingspan and a 45ft fuselage.

I flew gliders in the UK while stationed there as a
G.I. in the
1980's... I sure do miss those days...

Thanks all...
