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.
SincoTC has declared Open House

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…...

"On top of the fuselage" is an antenna - behind the challenge aircraft is another aircraft.
Why re-engined? This aircraft came with at least seven different engines.
