Perfect description Krabat. Egyptian project, but designed by Prof. Willy Messerschmitt.
Yep.
Very interesting little aircraft. And a shame that I overlooked it in Schleissheim. It stands right beside the HF-24 Marut. It's called Hispano Aviacion HA-300 there, but this is ok, knowing the history of the plane.

Krabat
Appropriate, Krabat, as there was Indian interest in the E-300 powerplant powering a later variant of the HF-24.
In the background is an Egyptian An-12 testbed with the E-300.

Not sure why Krabat. The Germano-Spanish design was bought lock, stock and barrel by the Egyptian Helwan Air Works, which was inaugurated formally by President Nasser on July 25 1962. The original design was a tailless delta, but this quickly changed once the project went to Egypt.
New one...

Yep.
Another one...
Air racer, short, stubby fuselage, big radial engine hanging out front . . . . I'm guessing one of the BG designs.
BG?
Bee Gee.
Gee Bee.
Granville Brothers.
Not sure what you mean by 'BG design' Stitch, but if you're referring to the Granville Brothers, then you're on the right track. The designer/builder of this racer was a disgruntled ex-chief designer for the Granville Brothers.
Certainly is paaln!
Is it a version of the Avro No.1 Triplane? (there appears to be many of them)
