Goa Prentice (?)

😀

As long as you’re not from Pakistan they’ll admit it’s a copy. But if you don’t ask it nicely you will be considered Pakistani anyway.

Ha! Dare you to go on the modern military forum and say that!

The HT2 is more of an Indian Chipmunk. The HT2 remained in production for quite a long time, first flew in 1951. Hindustan did licence build the Prentice though in 1949. They also built the Kiran, a Jet Provest copy.
Yes I think the Alize is better looking than the Gannett, and I think its still in Indian service??

ah thanks for the link ref the HT2… I thourght it may’ve been a local interpretation/manufacture of the Prentice along the lines of the Enfield motorbikes etc etc…

It’s definately an HT-2,try the link below for more pics and info…

The Dove should have a big perspex bubble over the top of the canopy,it certainly does look a bit odd without it!It may be a preservation mod to shade the interior a bit from the savage heat and sunlight in that part of the world.
Interesting pics Neil,thanks for all of them. 🙂

Not a Prentice and also the cockpit canopy/roof on the Dove/Devon looks wierd

and the Alize… better looking than the Gannet ?!

and the Dove… this was in very nice condition…
