The Short Sealand is a very rare type of aircraft, out of 25 built, only three exist today! During 1952, the Indian Navy ordered a batch of ten Sealands, which were built to an enhanced specification. Accordingly, these aircraft featured dual controls, increased fuel capacity and uprated engines. All ten aircraft were delivered between January and November 1953 and retired around 1965. IN106 was first reported with the museum in October 1998.

No this is not a new type of helicopter, but a restored HAL Chetak, a license built Alouette III. Without its engine mounted, skids in stead of wheels and blackened cockpit, its is hardly recognizable and as such one it really stands out in the excellent Naval Aviation Museum in Dabolim, Goa.
