I was quite sure sometime back that the IIT Chennai had two Sea Hawks and one of them bore the serial IN-252. When Vijay Reddy sent us the photographs of IN-235, I remember goading him to find out the second missing Sea Hawk at the IIT. I was quite sure about the existance of this second aircraft as I personally remember reading and noting down a report on the Sea Hawks which had a picture of IN-252 being used for instructional purposes.

The Gnat at the Madras Institute of Technology was more of a 'myth' than a reality for us. We had heard many stories and rumours of its existance but it was no where to be seen. When the Sea Hawk IN-252 turned up, it was speculated that it was probably the Seahawk that was misreported as a Gnat.
