Friends,
I know its quite late as I write this thread. I hereby for the first time of T.A.I bring to you a slice from the much respected history of none other than the Indian Air-Force. I wished that if some day I get a chance to share about an entirely different dimension other than cars and bikes then it shall be of planes. I am happy that T.A.I gets a new dimension and that too straight away about the various planes that were used by the Indian Air-Force in 1965. God willingly today I found a really illustrative source of information at my uncle's nephew's home. He is Retd. Air-Marshall Mr. Chaturvedi who has helped me in preparing this thread by providing their official IAF annual calendar for the starts and has agreed to share as much info about the various other aspects of IAF through the huge pile of literature at his place with me.
# Continued in next post.
