Just saw a cute vintage glider in this movie:
An air show in Saint-Germain, France

It is shown in time ~17sec.

According to the shape of the rudder, it looks like the american Laister Lawrence Tech "Yankee Doodle" 1938 which has performed aerobatics in France in a show conducted by the Paris Aero Club.It was there damaged in a landing mishap. Some people were injured

I had a new look to the video, it is the Lawrence Tech, one can see the name on the fuse the first time you see it on the video. Some docs on the Martin Simons book ( 1920-1945 page 234)
