The Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) HTT-34 was the turbo-prop version of the HAL HPT-32 Deepak. As such, it visited European airshows to atrract sales in 1984 and 1985. Without success, even the Indian armed forces did not order the type. Fortunately, the single prototype built has been saved and is currently on display at the HAL Technical Training Institute at Suranjan Das Road, Reddypalya, Jyothi Nagar, Bangalore.

On display at IAF Museum Palam. This Ajeet wears the emblem of No. 2 Sqn "Winged Arrows," which flew the fighter from1983-91. Successor to the battle-tested Gnat across two Indo-Pak wars, the equally diminutive Ajeet had a 22 feet wingspan, making it hard to spot. The dimensions were unchanged but several much-needed improvements to the Gnat were incorporated, resulting in a slightly heavier empty weight of 2,360 kg. The gun camera mount can be seen under the nose. The wheel track is a mere 5 feet. With just 89 built or updated by HAL, the Ajeet was effective in the ground-attack role.

The superb Indian Naval Aviation Museum in Dabolim, Goa, has a very interesting collection of aircraft. One of these is this somewhat crudely restored HAL Chetak, a license built Aloutte III, with serial IN475, but missing its engine. The type is still in use by the Indian Navy in 2025.

The superb Indian Naval Aviation Museum in Dabolim, Goa, has a very interesting collection of aircraft. This Kamov Ka-25PL with serial IN573 was acquired in 1980. Not many countries purchased these nimble helicopters, which have been replaced by the larger Kamov Ka-28 in service with the Indian Navy.
