The first prototype of the HAL Ajeet (with two hard points, as compared to the Production Ajeet, which had four hard points) was displayed on Cubbon Road in the heart of Bangalore City, beside the HQ of HAL. Due to construction of the Metro, the plane was removed from its place of honor to the HAL maintenance division, as per the last reports. To my surprise a casual visit to the HAL Museum revealed this aircraft placed on tyres. I am not sure if it is a permanent exhibit at HAL museum or will it be moved back to Cubbon Road, once the construction work is done. The metal bracket used to attach the the aircraft to the pylon can be seen at the base.
