Delivered new to the Indian AF in 1957 as IM-1713 and one of two Otters donated by India to the fledgling Bangladesh Defence Force Air Wing in May 1973. Retired in 1977, allocated for preservation and stored for many years on the base at Tejgaon pending the creation of the Air Force Museum. The museum moved to a new location adjacent to the base in 2013. This photo is copyright © Tim Spearman, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
