On display at Naval Air Museum Goa. This aircraft was one of 28 1049Es built, later converted to a 1049G that served Air India as VT-DHM "Rani of Ellora." The conversion allowed for 609gal wingtip tanks to be fitted. It went to the IAF as BG575 along with eight other Air India Connies. Later it was one of five transferred from No. 6 Sqn "Dragons" to the IN for maritime reconnaissance in 1976 to form IN312 "Albatross" as the Navy's then largest aircraft. When retired in 1983, they were the last Connies in the world in military service. This photo is copyright © Arjun Sarup, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
