Evening Trevor...not the Robin Alpha or the HR200/100. You are very close
, but this is an earlier design, originating from the late 60's, and quite different in its appearance.
Edit to say, I think the wire aerial is a red herring as others of this mark do not appear to have one.

Back again Ken,
I wasn't entirely convinced about the Alpha, so I just had to have another look!
I found this photo that rather looks like the one you used:
Photo Unknown Robin HR.100/210D Safari D-EHPL
the caption says it's a
Robin HR.100/210D Safari But then again, the photo of the Ambrosini I found after LM posted, was your picture, but the Italian website captioned it as an Ambrosini F4 Rondone , I should have zoomed in as it had F-7 painted on the cowling!!
Really off now so OH please if it's correct this time!

Got there in the end Trevor
. Yes, its the Robin HR100/210 Safari, a variant of the original HR100/180 Royal of 1969.
Here's a side view which shows its rather distinctive design.

Boohoo
My PERFECT site is silent about it, but somewhere else I see that it is a motorised version Schleicher Ka-4 Rhönlerche II . . . .
And, of course as always, the web is full of its pictures…...

When your adrenalin level is back or close to the safe level, please make a stab at this one, too:

You might Mate, but what a pure waste of time.
Took a look at Military. Did not see much adrenaline there, though

Hi Reg! Would the "step" in the top of the fuselage actually be the wing? RR

"On top of the fuselage" is an antenna - behind the challenge aircraft is another aircraft.
