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 Short Sealand is a very rare type of aircraft, out of 25 built, only three exist today! During 1952, the Indian Navy ordered a batch of ten Sealands, which were built to an enhanced specification. Accordingly, these aircraft featured dual controls, increased fuel capacity and uprated engines. All ten aircraft were delivered between January and November 1953 and retired around 1965. IN106 was first reported with the museum in October 1998.

No this is not a new type of helicopter, but a restored HAL Chetak, a license built Alouette III. Without its engine mounted, skids in stead of wheels and blackened cockpit, its is hardly recognizable and as such one it really stands out in the excellent Naval Aviation Museum in Dabolim, Goa.

The Sea Harriers are withdrawn unfortunately. Back in 2009 they were still flying, although very hard to get. So grainy and cropped, but still the catch of the day.
