Dear Phillip, under normal circumstances,I would have forwarded your recommendations to my friend, Admiral Arun Prakash, the Chief Of the Naval Staff, but Im worried that he may laugh so hard, that he may fall out of his chair. The old single prop Tiger Moths used to barely make it to the end of the runaway during takeoff at Juhu, and you want the Navy to fly fighter aircraft from there! wow! regards, Gilbert.
