Could it be a Prue?

The Prue 215 was short winged at 12.2m, this looks longer. The nose is
different, the wing is lower mounted than the Prue 215 (got to imagine
a turtledeck added to the wreck), the tail boom looks thinner than a
215 etc.

In additon to the sailplane directory, we can also now make use of the
Soaring Magazine archives John Leibacher and Kathleen Taylor put
together. See http://soaringweb.org/Soaring_Index/...962_issue.html
for a cover photo, and in a separate issue an article and back cover
illustration of a Prue 215.
