On static display for the award of President's Color to Naval Aviation. Once Harrier had been selected for the carrier, IN pilots led by Cdr A. Prakash VrC went to RAF Wittering in 1982 for the basic course on the T Mk.4. By 1983, INAS 300 "White Tigers" was operational on Sea Harrier Mk.51s along with a T Mk.60. More Harriers were inducted, with training done by INAS 551 B-Flight, later INAS 552. Replacement T Mk.4(I) trainers were ex-RAF, this being ZB602. IN's Harriers were decommissioned in 2016.
