Sea Hawk Recovered

Thanks to Ralph Hooper for the following...

In the early 1970s Cdr Kanjilal, Indian Navy, suffered a flame-out as his Sea Hawk approached INS Vikrant steaming in the Arabian Sea off Cochin.

The Commander ejected safely but his aircraft was lost until a minesweeping exercise thirty years later located the wreck.

It was subsequently recovered by the IN Diving School and the USN using a rescue and salvage ship, the USS Safeguard
