    I think the answer maybe some where in this –

    In December 2006, India placed a contract with MiG to upgrade 63 of its older MiG-29 aircraft (which entered service between 1986 and 1996) to advance MiG-29 SMT standard.

    The upgrade includes new Klimov RD-33 engines, avionics and radars. The initial batch of six MiG-29s is being upgraded in Russia as part of a $964m contract. These upgraded aircraft are expected to enter service by the end of 2011. The remaining MiG-29s will be overhauled in India using Russian components.

    Russian Aircraft Corporation (RSK-MiG) selected Thales in April 2010 to upgrade the MiG-29 fighter deployed by the Indian Air Force as part of a $900m retrofit project. Thales will upgrade the MiG-29 fighter with IFF1 combined interrogator transponder (CIT) and cryptographic national secure mode (NSM).

    Thales will deliver the initial building block of a complete secure identification capability to India in 2011. The first five MiG-29s will be upgraded and flight-tested in Russia and the other aircraft will be upgraded in India with Russian technical assistance.

    A little more information on the construction from our favorite newspaper ๐Ÿ™‚

    Mr Palmer said: โ€˜Titanic II will be the ultimate in comfort and luxury with on-board gymnasiums and swimming pools, libraries, high class restaurants and luxury cabins.โ€™
    The only differences will be below the water line – the ship will be powered by diesel rather than coal and will include a bulbous bow for greater fuel efficiency, plus an enlarged rudder and bow thrusters for improved manoeuvrability.
    It will have four smoke stacks like the coal-powered original, but they will be purely decorative.

    I also read else where that the hull will be welded rather than riveted.

    Well if there are plans to build a second T2 its not going to happen anytime soon. The whole area has been turfed.
    They do how ever have what looks like a bonfire in the carpark, which is going to be a hangAR for the WWI aircraft.

    Yes, this seemed to pass unnoticed at the time. It realy puts things in perspective. Maybe spelling mistakes are not the worst thing in the world ?
