In my first correspondence back in February 1969, the estblishment was called:- Department of Aeronautical Engineering, Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh 11.
I have a very vague recollection of a light aircraft but having just re-visited my negatives from that visit I cannot see any evidence of it in the background. The Spitfire was inside, by the way.
