Did anyone spot was missing?
The canopy, on this glider the canopy is detachable
and probably has been transported to the launch point in the towing car.
(Many
single-seat gliders have home built tow-out gear, mainly built from fibreglass, aluminium
and incorporating standard wheels).

Take a closer look: The canopy is not missing, it just lies under the left wing.
A
sailplane canopy alone is very fragile and needs protection by the stable structure of
the fuselage. For that reason the canopy usually is re-attached to the glider when it is
transported to the launch point.
