This discussion reminds me of a quote read many years ago:
"With the progress of science we do not become more certain, but we become certain of more."

A real bummer that my trusted camera ran out of batteries before taking any Dhruv pictures :( :( , and I had no time to run around and buy more. CR123s have a reputation to die without warning :mad: . I had a couple of friends snap pictures, and so I'll post the scans when I get the copies. Amarko.

Great pictures from Sanjay Simha! Thank you sir! Some observations: KH2003 has the same paint scheme as KH2002, the only way to tell them apart would be a close look at the vertical tail plane. PV1 also seems to have a rectangular inlet just after the air intakes, any ideas what it is? See Tejas01.j...
