I don't think there ever was a SF-25 with a ballistic recovery parachute, but there is a microlight version, the SF-40 Mini-Falke, which has one. Not really a motor glider any more, though.

Example: https://www.ulforum.de/ultraleicht/f...lke-sf-40.html

Any idea what the motor glider was?

It looks a bit like an SF-25 to me, but are there any in NZ?
