From the house of Birla - The aircraft registered as VT-CYT was used by Shri G.D. Birla for travelling around the country during the years 1948 to 1983. Note the extended window in the airframe, it was specially crafted for the VIP configured Dakotas to provide a panoramic view along with extra comfort.
