Iniyan, have you ever heard of Captain Suronjon Das (the first name might be spelled differently)?? He was my grandfather and an Ace pilot with the Indian Air Force around 35 years ago...
If it is Group Captain Suranjan Das, then I salute you SumoNYR88.
Gp Capt Suranjan Das is considered to be one of the pioneers of Indian aviation, especially the Mirage series. He test flew the Mirage IIIC. We even had a lecture on him at the TACDE, Jamnagar.
He was sadly killed when his HF-24 Mk 1R prototype crashed during test flight. It was in 1970, right?
If you are the grandson of Gp. Captain Suranjan Das, then your great grandfather was the ex-Chief Justice of India.
