Stored unconverted. In 1960, Ghana received 12 Hindustan HT-2s from India to equip its nascent air force. They were registered PT201 to PT212. I believe PT209 c/n T-134 is one of these former Ghana Air Force aircraft, which was withdrawn from service in 1974 and exported to South Africa in 1989. Any further details about this or other HT-2s stored in Krugersdorp or in the Warbirds Museum in Bronkhorstspruit would be most welcome.
