Military G3s extra

To complement Westleigh's recent post on the subject, have dug out a couple of pics which might be of interest. MM62025 (479) of the Italian Air Force was caught at Orly in 1989 by Paul Tricker while K2961 (494) of the Indian Air Force was caught by Steve Speight at Delhi in 2008 on what must have been a bit of a sneaky trip.

Random Gulfstream photo #21

Have been sent a picture of G3 K2960 (420) taken by Neil Harris as he left Delhi last February on his way home. This has been reported as VT-ENR but doesn't appear to carry this registration now. This was built as an SRA-1 demonstrator (N47449) and first flew in August 1984. It appeared at the Farnborough show a month later. It was delivered to the Indian Air Force via Luton in May 1987 where it was caught by my good friend John Lythgoe. It seems to have used VT-ENR for ferry flights to the States for maintenance. Used primarily for monitoring the border between India and Pakistan and presumably will be replaced by Globals. K2961 was also present during Neil's visit.
