Dornier Surveillance Aircraft

The security of India and Sri Lanka is enhanced by mutual understanding, mutual trust and cooperation, the Indian envoy here said on Monday, as India gifted a Dornier aircraft to the Sri Lanka Navy to enhance its maritime surveillance.

A five member team of Indian Navy created history by completing the first all-women independent maritime reconnaissance and surveillance mission in the North Arabian Sea onboard a state-of-the-art Dornier 228 aircraft on Wednesday.

Sub Lieutenant Shivangi takes a walk about a white Dornier 228 twin-turboprop aircraft of the India Navy during a mandatory pre-flight check. Satisfied with her observation, she climbs into the cockpit of the aircraft used by the Navy for general utility and surveillance operations before she fires up the instrument.

Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar today felicitated fishermen who were instrumental in saving the pilot of a Dornier surveillance aircraft that crashed in the Arabian Sea in March.

Ten days after its Dornier surveillance aircraft with three officers on board went missing, the Coast Guard filed a formal police complaint on the matter today.

The fuselage of the ill-fated Indian Navy's Dornier aircraft was salvaged from the bottom of the sea on Saturday, about 25 nautical miles off the Goa coast, Defence sources said.
