It looks like the pilot of a small aircraft has crashed into Juhu garden in Mumbai!
Actually, it turns out that this plane has never flown: it has no engine and is made of concrete, which I hear is not the most aerodynamic of materials. Submitter Rushikesh tells us that it is part of a kid’s playpark, and that you can get inside the cockpit and pretend like your flying it!
Thanks: Rushikesh Jukar

The “aircraft” in question is made of concrete; it has seats in the cabin and cockpit. I remember playing on that plane when I was 6 or 7; at that time, the plane was a scaled down Air-India Boeing 707. I heard that two of the engines were removed and that the model is supposed to represent an Airbus A300 – I cannot confirm that. Anyway, I have a postcard, which I will put up on my site:
