I have posted a trivia challenge on my club's blog. I gave the members
first crack at solving it, but no one has succeeded yet. Hence the
wider invitation...

The movie remains to be identified.

No. That movie segment used a Schweizer 1-23 and was filmed at the North
East Gliderport in Salem NH USA. It's a golf course now - sigh.

And that original 1-23 is still privately owned, alive and well at the
Piedmont Soaring Society in North Carolina.

Did you know that they repainted that glider for the movie and then,
afterwards, restored it to its original color? I flew commercial rides
out of that gliderport for a few years - up until they closed.

I would guess it's a French movie.
I can't recall the name of the male actor, but surely I've seen him in
many french productions.

The actor is David McCallum and the film is probably the Mosquito
Squadron (1969)

[jeplane]

The actor's name is Georges Descrieres.
Not sure of the movie. Would guess "Two for the road" 1967?

And yes it is a C800, famous glider in France in the 50's before the
arrival of the Wassmer "Bijave" in 1965. I soloed in the Bijave but
remember seeing a C800 on the wall of the hangar of the soaring club I
was flying 30 years ago...

I'm sorry, but that is not correct.

If it is a French movie, it may be Jean Paul Belmondo in "La grande
vadrouille". I have found this picture of this glider:

Yes, we received some training in them at La Montaigne Noire near
Castelnaudary in 1957 and 8.

They also had something called Castel 25, which was a slightly better
two seater with a cantilever wing. And a very high performance tandem
job, the Breguet 904. And no end of tow planes, mostly Stampes, but also
a French built Storch.

Could the film be something to do with Jacqueline Auriole, who (a) had
been a student at La Montaigne Noire and (b) was Mrs President of
France?
