Kids let Navy dreams fly at aviation museum

Bogmalo: Commander SanjeevAnand and commander Amarjeet Singh of the Indian navy were in for a surprise, when they stepped up to give a group of fidgety 13 year-olds a guided tour of the Naval Aviation Museum at Bogmalo. Initially shy, the kids listened attentively as the two officers cruised through the posters and photographs in the indoor gallery, explaining the history of the aviation arm of the navy. Ten minutes into the tour, however, the questions started coming at them like missiles.
"What is the length of INS Viraat?" "How far can your submarines shoot torpedoes?" "How much fuel can carriers like Viraat store?" "What are the blades of the helicopter made of?" The forty-odd participants in the museum visit, a part of TOI's Goa For Kids campaign, were unrelenting with their questions.
