@ArunTheAviator I remember photos of this airframe in a scrap heap.. saw it a few year ago.

[Warbirds of India @warbirdsindia]

@fadingchinar Are there any markings on any of these items? the engine etc.

[Warbirds of India @warbirdsindia]

@fadingchinar Not many IAF Dakotas that crashed in that era in Kashmir that resulted in fatalities. There are less than a dozen such accidents over the entire history.. Can be researched.

The first Sukhoi 30 MKI warbird on record. This aircraft was badly damaged in a crash landing after the air crew ejected. The airplane was remarkably intact and was destined to become a GI airframe https://t.co/99nQ7bSdTn

Start of 2026, this is where we stand for the Annual Warbird Survey (with examples > 5)

[Warbirds of India @warbirdsindia]

Somewhere In the Deccan.. on an Army location.. there can't be too many of these on display anywhere.. are there?

A HS-748 'Avro' Survivor - ex BSF example. Lovely video giving all the details

[News Arena India @NewsArenaIndia]

Virendra Kushwaha, a scrap dealer in Madhya Pradesh's Ujjain has bought a 55 seater BSF plane to turn it into a hotel.

He bought it for ₹40 lakh and he will build a unique hotel with 4-5 rooms.

@Mishra__Deepak1 @ReviewVayu @HQ_IDS_India Looks like it .. a first!

[Warbirds of India @warbirdsindia]

@Aditya_G_Social That's a new one
Probably the Dak fuselage at Agra AFS built up with fake wings

[Warbirds of India @warbirdsindia]

@hukum2082 Can't take the credit. A veteran told me that!

[Warbirds of India @warbirdsindia]

If you look closely they are painted to look like F-16s against the sky.. aggressors..

[Aditya G @Aditya_G_Social]

These are the first pictures of anything in IAF which is not Tipnis grey in the last 20 years.

(OK yes Mirages are an exception)

[Dipalay Dey @dipalay]

India's only preserved 70yrs old "SUPER CONNIE" pulled me towards the Naval Aviation Museum today 🙂

Ex @airindia VT-DHM "Rani of Ellora" & IAF's BG575, this 1955 delivered Connie added cherry to the museum.

Beautifully maintained by @indiannavy. A must visit if you are in #Goa

And a HT-2 at the bottom of the pic

[Warbirds of India @warbirdsindia]

While no one was looking - AFS Tambaram built a mini aircraft museum of its own .. that looks like a Gnat, MiG-21, a MiG-23/27, Iskra, Kiran, HPT, Mi-8 and an HS-748!

[Warbirds of India @warbirdsindia]

MiG-21 C1691 that can be seen at HAL Museum. There are probably five layers of grey paint on it.. not one Dataplate in sight.. nor an identification marking https://t.co/9FqAbfsLNC

[Warbirds of India @warbirdsindia]

HAL HPT-32 Deepak [X3240] at the HAL Museum and Heritage Center in Bengaluru. One exception to the rather depressing state of aircraft over there. https://t.co/F0swdp1r2o
