I'm wondering if the photo is of a model based on the pilot (no offence if it turns out not to be!)

It is a Schleicher K8B but it is presently registered as F-CHHG and the Swiss one is a former reg so could be a model. Beemer.

I'd noticed that close to the ground (shallow camera angle) the spoilers should be extended to descend/slow for landing.
Looks to me that it is indeed a RCM with a very high gloss finish (note the reflection on the wing).
Appears that 'Acklington' can remain a responsible citizen and not have to go out for a solo drive during isolation lock-down. Dare I say it, could he be a 'model' citizen? (big groan!).

Well that one had me fooled!
I'll blame 'boat lag' i.e. ships rot your brain.

I was at Andreas on Saturday and it is looking even more derelict than usual although there appears to be some work being done on the old control tower. I didn't see any aircraft.
