[QUOTE="walter, post: 54786, member: 1158"] Dear Boxkite, some 2,5 years late, but... Attached photo of the Hindustan HCP-25. I never found details and many years did write to Hindustan, but got reply with details of the Pushpak. What I found ou is that it had a 600hp radial engine and this could be a P&W R1340, Alvis Leonides, Shvetsov. It it possible that the airframe was modified from a Noorduyn Norseman with 3-blade prop, additional cabin windows, re-contoured Beaver style vertical tail. I have seen the aircraft described as HCP-125, HCP-25, LAS (for Logistic Air Support). It seemsto have flown in September 1960 and development was under leadership of Dr. V.M.Ghatage. A turbine engine version was apparently also planned, but never built. Anyone with more (or corrected) information on this unique aircraft? Walter [/QUOTE]
