Another theory of mine is that this could be linked to the recent RAFM acquisitions report, in which it is claimed they have acquired a 'between the wars bi-plane type'.
The RAFM already have two Harts, a Wallace, a Bulldog and a Hind but no Waipati.
These definitely served in the region and the IAF Museum already has one. The 'Warbirds of India' site claims this mystery warbird is under restoration at some IAF base. This could be in preparation for some kind of deal with the RAFM.
It's a Waipati and it's coming our way!
Although, take that with a pinch of salt, as the "Buffalo for RAFM" story went pear-shaped.
