If you mean that this photo is Hind No2 with GR K-14 engine, please , note that its a No3 (1353) with new , modified cockpit canopy and with NACA ring over the K-9 engine. Modifications were made at ZMAJ factory, Zemun. [attachment=1] Somewhere in press or internet, this photo was misslabeled as Hind No2 with K-14 engine, and the myth was spread around.
