Evening Trevor...not the Robin Alpha or the HR200/100. You are very close:ok:, 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.

SincoTC 30th Aug 2011 22:02

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:ok:. 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.

You mean motor gliders?

Lightning Mate 31st Aug 2011 08:29

Yes I do.

RegDep 31st Aug 2011 08:57

That picture taken at Turweston?

Lightning Mate 31st Aug 2011 09:01

Dunno!

I'l try to find out - standby.....

No - it's in Belgium mate.

skytrain10 31st Aug 2011 09:15

Its a Schwammle HS-3 Motorlerche I believe?

If so will have to be Open House

Lightning Mate 31st Aug 2011 09:20

Bingo!!! :D

Pity mate, but it's OPEN HOUSE again.

RegDep 31st Aug 2011 09:30

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…...

Lightning Mate 31st Aug 2011 09:44

Just been engaging in banter on the Military thread. :}

Got anything Reg?

RegDep 31st Aug 2011 09:49


Just been engaging in banter on the Military thread.
When your adrenalin level is back or close to the safe level, please make a stab at this one, too:

Looks like it's time to go to Aerofiles.

RegDep 31st Aug 2011 09:54

You might Mate, but what a pure waste of time.

Took a look at Military. Did not see much adrenaline there, though :ok:.

Ridge Runner 31st Aug 2011 10:05

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

Edit: I'd say its a re-engined Junkers?

RegDep 31st Aug 2011 10:10

"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.

Lightning Mate 31st Aug 2011 10:10

A good day so far - please standby.....
