Link? I had asked the IAF directly when it was first announced they were receiving the Dak, and they suggested it would be flown over around April. Anything to delay this to enable it to appear at RIAT would be most welcome!

IP1960 - Pop me a Private message with who you contacted within IAF - as I am also going to contact Benson direct about this aircraft, to see if I can entice it to pop over to Abingdon for our show weekend!

Neil - too late I'm afraid. I was at Benson yesterday as a guest of the Indian High Commission, who held a hand-over ceremony for this aircraft to the Indian Air Force.
It will not be coming to Abingdon, RIAT or anywhere else, but is departing for India imminently. I was told they cannot delay the flight and risk arriving in the monsoon season.
