A derelict Harvard is lying around in one of the government establishments in Chennai. The aircraft though in pretty bad shape, is still a good candidate for restoration, as the entire fuselage, engine mountings, main wing spars seem to be in good condition. Since we have record of only four Harvards (At that time in 2001!) in the country, the news of a fifth airframe makes a very welcome addition to our listings.

The Indian Navy had in the late eighties contributed one of its Sea Hawk fighters to the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) , Chennai. This was primarily to help the technical students of the Aerospace department familiarise themselves with actual aircraft. The aircraft IN-235 was from No. 300 INAS "White Tigers" and carried the insignia on thier noses.
