HAL's first ever indigenously designed and built aircraft was the HT-2 piston engined trainer that flew in the late forties. The HT-2 was designed by a team led by Dr. V M Ghatge, and after its sucessful evaluation was the Indian Air Force's ab-initio trainer from the late fifties to the mid eighties. The aircraft was initially equipped with a Cirrus-Major engine and resembled the DHC-1 Chipmunk. In the mid eighties, some numbers were re-engined with the Lycoming Piston engine and saw service flying with the Flying Instructor's School (FIS) in Tambaram AFS.This is a Lycoming powered example , a rather rare one.
