This company’s first design was the Hendy 281 Hobo, a small single-seater using Basil Henderson’s patented wing construction. A tandem-two-seat derivative, the Hendy 302, was built by George Parnall and Co (with whom Hendy amalgamated in 1935) and was entered in the 1930 King’s Cup Air Race. The 1934 Hendy 3308 Heck was an advanced three-seater constructed by Westland Aircraft for Whitney Straight.
Era
Hendrickson 1909 hang-glider
This canard glider was built by Charles J. Hendrickson of Middleton, New Jersey, in 1909. It was intended to be used with a two-cylinder Curtiss engine, but it was only flown as a glider, since starts without wheels proved unpracticable and adding wheels would make it too heavy. Hendrickson also designed and built other gliders, quite different to this design.

Henderson-Glenny Gadfly
William A. Baker had undertaken the construction of the six seat Henderson HSF 1 (G ABVF) and all three of the Henderson Glenny Gadfly monoplanes which were also designed by K. N. Pearson, M.C., AFRAeS.
Glenny & Henderson company at Byfleet, Surrey, UK, built a Mk.I standard aircraft G-AAEY c/n 1. It was first flown in April 1929, at Brooklands. It was converted to Gadfly Mk.II statue later that year. It was scrapped in June 1934.
The second built was c/n 2 G-AARJ, built ads a Mk.II. This was as the Mk.I but fitted with Pearson rotary ailerons. It first flew in August 1929, from Brooklands. In 1930 it was sold in Canada as CF-AMG but was written off on 25 August 1931.
One aircraft was built as a Mk.III, like the Mk.II but fitted with a Salmson AD.9 radial engine. G-AARK was first flown in late 1929, at Brooklands. It was withdrawn from use in 1930 and put into storage at Brooklands until scrapped there in 1933.

Helwan HA-300
Originally conceived to meet a Spanish Ejercito del Aire requirement for a small M=1.5 interceptor and the design responsibility of a Germano-Spanish team supervised by Prof Willy Messerschmitt, the HA-300 programme was transferred to Egypt. Here development and construction was undertaken in Factory No 36 at Helwan, this being controlled by the Egyptian General Aero Organisation (EGAO). Originally designed for the proposed afterburning Orpheus BOr 12 turbojet, the HA-300 was modified for the Brandner-designed E-300 with a calculated afterburning rating of 4800kgp. The first V.1 prototype, powered by a 2200kgp Orpheus 703-S-10, was flown on 7 March 1964, a similarly-powered second V.2 prototype flying on 22 July 1965. The version flew supersonic.
The definitive third prototype with the E-300 engine commenced taxi trials in November 1969, but the HA-300 programme was then terminated without flight testing of this prototype being undertaken. It was anticipated that the E-300-powered HA-300 would be capable of attaining 12000m and M=2.0 within 2.5 min of take-off. The Orpheus-powered prototypes achieved approx M=1.13 during flight test.
Egypt’s HA-300 was test flown in the Spring of 1964 by an Indian pilot, showing no appreciable advantages over the MiG-21.
The HA-300 V.1 is displyed in the Deutsches Museum – Oberschleissheim and the Ha-300 V.2 and V.3 remained in Cairo.

Helwan Air Works
Egypt
Inaugurated by President Nasser in 1962, Helwan’s first project was license-manufacture of the Spanish Hispano HA-200 Saeta jet trainer, known in Egypt as Al Kahira. German designer Willy Messerschmitt led a Helwan team to develop the HA-300 supersonic fighter, first flown in prototype form in March 1964.
