A Chetak from INAS 321 "Angels" trailing the naval ensign at dusk off Ramakrishna Beach. Alouette IIIs were ordered by the Indian Navy in 1962 but were requisitioned by the IAF during the Sino-Indian War. The Navy received its Alouette IIIs in 1964 and these formed a flight aboard INS Vikrant. Later, INAS 321 "Angels" was formed in 1969 and its Chetaks have been detached for SAR and liaison duties to ships and stations as required. A Chetak flight also served in Antarctica.

A Chetak from INAS 321 "Angels" embarked on INS Viraat at anchorage off Visakhapatnam. This must have been among the final flights from the deck, as the great ship was put out of IN service on 23 July 2016, later to be decommissioned. She formerly served as R12 HMS Hermes, flagship during the Falklands War.

Preserved on the INS Vikrant. The ship was opened to the public as a museum by the Indian Navy in 2001 after it had been decommissioned. The Government of Maharashtra was unable to find a partner to operate the museum on a permanent, long-term basis and the museum was closed after it was deemed unsafe for the public in 2012. Scrapping of the ship commenced in 2014.

Flying off Ramakrishna Beach. Alouette IIIs were ordered by the Indian Navy in 1962 but were requisitioned by the IAF during the Sino-Indian War. The Navy received its Alouette IIIs in 1964 and these formed a flight aboard INS Vikrant. Later, INAS 321 "Angels" was formed in 1969 and its Chetaks have been detached for SAR and liaison duties to ships and stations as required. A Chetak flight also served in Antarctica. At the time of this photo, the type had completed nearly 52 years in naval service.
