Standing inside the hangar at Duxford, this Gladiator flew in 2008 after lengthy restoration. Last of the 25 Gladiator Mk.IIs built under Contract 773235/38, the aircraft was probably delivered to No. 141 Sqn. at RAF Grangemouth in 1939. Transferred into storage and onto 61 OTU in 1943, it was to be converted for meteorological survey work in 1944. Sold postwar to different owners, it was bought by The Fighter Collection and restored with a 'swift volant' on the blue tail as a No. 72 Sqn. Gladiator flown by the 'B' Flight commander.

This was RAF FS787 that was shipped as new to India in 1943. It went to the RIAF in Sept. 1947 and continued to fly till 1989. Thereafter, it went to the UK for restoration by Reflight Airworks and came back to India inside an IAF C-17 in July 2014. Harvards not only equipped Training Command's No. 1 and No. 2 Air Force Academy but also took part in conflicts.

"Agra" as AI401 from DEL on short final for NSCBIA on a winter morning as she approaches with gear down and full flaps set at 30 degrees, doing between 140-150 knots. This was the last week of the Queen operating to Kolkata, though nobody really knew at the time how long 747 the service would continue to the city.

"Flying Frigate" making up part of the naval aviation flypast for review by Smt. Pratibha Devi Singh Patil, President of India and Supreme Commander of the Indian Armed Forces during President's Fleet Review 2011. Based on Sea King HAS Mk.5, these helicopters have been a force multiplier aboard Godavari-class frigates, Delhi-class destroyers and carriers. Along with ASW, 42Bs can perform ship strike with the Sea Eagle ASM. The Sea Kings are operated by INAS 330 "Harpoons" and INAS 336 "Flaming Arrows".

One of the nicer sights visible from the flyover between airport and the Bandra-Worli Sea Link. The Flogger was inducted in No. 10 Sqn. "Winged Daggers", which operated the same from Jan. 1981 to Dec. 1993. Other IAF units to operate the type were No. 220 Sqn. "Desert Tigers", No. 31 Sqn. "Lions" and No. 221 Sqn. "Valiants", the last unit to phase out their BNs in March 2009. The BN was used in Op Safed Sagar during the Kargil War to strike Pakistani positions on mountain tops.

With its Fowler flaps set at 5 deg, this Dornier from INAS 310 "Cobras" takes to the air at around 95 kts during Aero India 2021 amidst IAF roundels. The unit was commissioned on the Alizé at Hyéres by Amb. Nawab Ali Yavar Jung on 21 March 1961 as IN's first ship-borne ASW/MR unit, flying off INS Vikrant. The "Cobras" transitioned to the Do-228 in Aug. 1991. True to their motto 'First In and Last Out', INAS 310 remains the Indian Navy's most decorated unit, having received three unit citations.

Built too late to see combat in WWII, this Mustang served with 45th TRS at Kimpo during the Korean War. Authorised for disposal in April 1956 at McClellan AFB, it went to Canada and returned to USA, where it changed hands several times. It was restored at Chino, CA as a TF-51D and flown with drop tanks to Duxford, where it reached on July 4, 2007 and became a part of The Fighter Collection. It is painted to represent Capt Frank Birtciel's P-51D 44-14561, Miss Velma of the 55th FG based at Wormingford.

Looking good at any angle, IAF Museum Palam's MiG-21bis now sports a shark's mouth and lightning flash after restoration. The Type 75 was designed for low-level, high-G manoeuvring dogfights with its uprated Tumansky R-25-300 engine, requiring a larger nose inlet diameter for increased airflow. It had the fastest rate of climb among the MiG-21 variants. Initially six aircraft built at GAZ-21 in Gorkii were delivered to India followed by CKD kits, and then manufactured under licence by HAL Nasik.
