The excellent HAL Museum in Bangalore shows the history of Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd, the Indian aircraft manufacturer. On display is the first prototype of the HJT-16 Kiran Mk2, an Indian-designed jet trainer. The Mk2 version has a different tailpipe and more hardpoints for weapon training compared to the Mk1(A).
