Warbirds of India

The Ouragan is painted standard IAF Grey and is on a platform. The canopy is missing and replaced with sheet metal. The aircraft sports the serial IC867. Initially I thought that this aircraft was IC667 because no "8xx" series Ouragans have been noted, but since then we have confirmed that there have been aircraft with the 8xx tail numbers and this number is a legit identity.

	Port view of Dassault Ouragan IC867. The Black Archers motif is painted on the nose on both sides of the aircraft. The Aircraft canopy and windshield seems to have been made up of aluminium sheets. The original perspex probably lost over the years.

The aircraft sports the Black Archers emblem on the nose - no doubt a remnant of No.47 Squadron's stint at Hashimara in the 1965-68 period. The Ouragan is one of the only five extant airframes known to be in India at this point of time [Feb2006].

Two more views of the Ouragan. Note the reversed nose wheel indicating that the aircraft was pushed into the position. The nose wheel requires correction to the front.
