This rather heart-breaking photograph arrived today that shows the Hawker Sea-Hawk IN240 that was displayed on a concrete pylon at the Beach now flipped over onto the ground due to the gale force winds.
There seems to be extensive damage to teh canopy, tail and elevators.

I seriously think India should dump these soviet style symbolisms. It is pretty lame for today's day and age.

A shame but I'm sure the damage is repairable (for purely gate guard/static display purposes).
What are you talking about? The Hawker Sea Hawk was a BRITISH built plane and anyway there is nothing "lame" about celebrating and remembering the past. In fact you dishonour all those men and women who have served for your nation if you simply ignore their service and don't have these kind of things.
I'm sorry but that is a very ignorant point of view.

Do you understand the difference between Soviet Symbolism and British planes ? They are two completely different things.
There are far better ways to remember the past and sacrifices of heroes of past wars than lug some aircraft corpse on a concrete slab.

India Naval Ships On Overseas Depoyment To East Africa, South Indian Ocean
NEW DELHI, Oct 16 (Bernama) -- Indian Naval Ships (INS) namely, Mumbai, Talwar, Teg and Deepak are on a two-month long Overseas Deployment to East Africa and the South Indian Ocean region, the Ministry of Defence announced.
Three of the four ships, INS Mumbai, INS Talwar and INS Deepak arrived in Mombasa on Wednesday to bolster bilateral ties and reinforcing cooperation in maritime security between India and Kenya.
India and Kenya have historical maritime trading links and evidence of this interaction is available through the sizable Indian diaspora settled in Kenya, said the Ministry in a statement.
It said the close knit relations between the two countries resulted in India being among the first few countries to establish a High Commission in Kenya following its Independence in 1963.
Bilateral relations between the two countries have since been progressively stepped up through economic, military and diplomatic cooperation.
The involvement of Indian Naval ships in combating piracy off the coast of Somalia since October 2008 has further strengthened bilateral ties and interaction with navies in the region.
The healthy state of naval cooperation is evident from frequent port visits by naval ships, demonstration of hydrographic survey by Indian survey ships and training of Kenyan naval personnel in India, it said.
India and Kenya are also members of Indian Ocean Naval Symposium (IONS), a voluntary and cooperative initiative between 35 countries of the Indian Ocean Region, which has served as an ideal forum for sharing of information and cooperation on maritime issues.

India Cancels Navy LUH Tender; Issues New Request
NEW DELHI — India has canceled yet another light utility helicopter (LUH) global tender, this time for the Navy, which has rushed to float a new request for information to domestic companies for the troubled program, said a Defence Ministry source.
The request seeks to gauge company interest in manufacturing an unspecified number of LUHs in partnership with foreign firms.
The Ministry of Defence early this month canceled the Navy’s global tender issued in 2012 for the procurement of 56 LUHs. The Navy had hoped to induct the helicopters by 2016. The competitors, Airbus Helicopters and AgustaWestland, have been informed of MoD’s decision to cancel the tender, the source added.
No official from either AgustaWestland or Airbus Helicopters was available to comment on the cancellation.
The Navy requires an LUH with a maximum take-off weight of 4.5 tons, and which can be used for both shore-based and offshore operations, operating from ship decks in all weather, day and night.
On Aug. 29, the MoD canceled a global tender issued in 2009 for the purchase of 197 LUHs for the Indian Air Force, in which Kamov and Airbus Helicopters were the final competitors.
A Navy official said the service is disappointed that acquisition of the helicopters has again been delayed as they urgently wish to replace the aging Cheetah and Chetak currently in use. Manufacture of the LUH domestically will add time to the process.
The Cheetah and Chetak helicopters, made by Hindustan Aeronautics under license, are 40 years old and being flown beyond their age limitations, the official said. ■

India to Develop Iran’s Chahbahar Port
India has approved the plan to take part in the development of Iran’s Chahbahar port, a move seen as an attempt to bypass Pakistan and give India a sea-land access route into Afghanistan through Iran’s eastern borders.
India plans to float a company which will lease two fully constructed berths in Chahbahar port’s Phase-I project for a period of ten years. The company will invest USD 85.21 million for equipping the two berths within 12 months as a container terminal and the second as a multi-purpose cargo terminal.
The Indian side will transfer ownership of the equipment to be provided through the investment to Iran’s port and Maritime Organisation (P&MO) without any payment at the end of the tenth year.
If the collaboration on Phase-I is considered satisfactory, the Indian and Iranian sides could enter into subsequent negotiations for participation in the construction, equipping and operating of terminals in Phase-II.
Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) and the Kandla Port Trust (KPT), and if required a local Iranian partner, will serve as the vehicle for India’s participation in the development of the port. Approval was also given for incurring annual revenue expenditure of USD 22.95 million to support operational activities of the Indian JV.
Iran’s Chahbahar port located in the Sistan-Baluchistan Province on Iran’s south-eastern coast is considered to be a port of great strategic utility for India. It lies outside the Persian Gulf and is easily accessed from India’s western coast.

Indian Warships Enters Saint Denis Port Reunion Islands France | Business Standard News
Indian Naval Ships Mumbai, Talwar, Teg and Deepak under the Command of Rear Admiral R Hari Kumar, VSM, the Flag Officer Commanding Western Fleet, are on a two-month long Overseas Deployment to East Africa and the South Indian Ocean region. Three of the four ships, INS Mumbai, INS Talwar and INS Deepak arrived Saint Denis port of the Reunion island, France on 27 Oct 14 towards bolstering bilateral ties and reinforcing cooperation in maritime security between India and France.
India and France have traditionally maintained close and friendly relations with bilateral cooperation being extended to various fields. The establishment of the Strategic Partnership in 1998 witnessed further rise in bilateral ties with regular high level exchanges at the Head of State and government levels, thus boosting the cooperation in trade & investment, culture, science & technology, education, nuclear energy, space and defence to name a few. The scale and quantum of defence cooperation between the countries has progressively been stepped up in the last decade. The growing defence cooperation is evident from the conduct of annual naval exercise Varuna, contract for the construction of Scorpene class submarines and the participation of a 400-strong contingent of the Indian armed forces in the Bastille Day parade in 2009, where the Indian Prime Minister was the Guest of Honour. India and France are also members of Indian Ocean Naval Symposium (IONS), a voluntary and co-operative initiative between 35 countries of the Indian Ocean Region, which has served as an ideal forum for sharing of information and cooperation on maritime issues. The current visit seeks to underscore India's solidarity with friendly countries of the region to strengthen the existing bonds of friendship between India and France.
During the stay the ships would be kept open to public. In addition, various cultural events and games between the two navies are also scheduled.
