Standard Cirrus 1973 (Grob) no water ballast
As Eric said - definitely Schempp Hirth.
For what it's worth, one of the most well known Standard Cirrii is VH-GZR, flown by Ingo Renner at the 1974 Worlds at Waikerie in Australia, and the subject of the movie "Zulu Romeo, Good Start". This is a Grob build Cheers, Nick.

Standard Cirrus 1973 (Grob) no water ballast
Just a little update for those that are interested in the 1973 Cirrus without water ballast in the wings.
I had the following email from a Schempp Hirth employee: Still none the wiser! Dear Mr. Simmonds, after checking our drawing list are all of the Standart Cirrus was built with water balast into the wings. I can´t see why you glider was built without water balast. Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards René Dank Kundendienstleitung / Customer Service Direktor Schempp-Hirth Service GmbH Krebenstr. 25 73230 Kirchheim unter Teck
