Good one Grampa, and well done Jim. That must have been a rare find in the desert after all those years.

It looks like the HAL factory in India, and I've seen the type before, but have no idea what it's called.

Darn! I thought, as it was the first type produced by HAL, it might be the PC-5A, but for some reason I thought it looked completely different, and I was trying to think which Commonwealth design it might be based on!
I guess it's a good idea sometimes to go with first thoughts!
BTW, it looks like the same workshop is still being used, as nearly all 'promo' pictures from HAL over the years look to have been taken in the same place!
OK, let' see what tricky little blighter you spring on us next !!

Looks like a Beaufighter's landing gear, although not quite right somehow, and I don't know of any currently taxiable.
