Marijn,
Can you please confirm that you actually read the serial of the C-47?
There are actually two C-47 fuselages on the north side, about 200 meters apart. To the best of my knowledge neither has been physically read for at least 20 years.
The other one could well be HJ250.

Hi Andy,
No I didn't read it by myself. As far as I know there is only one preserved C-47 at Agra. I didn't read anything about a second one. The HJ905 is missing his wings according to some websites. The one I saw was also missing his wings, so I concluded it's him. But I have no conformation.
If you stand in front of the Mi-4 it was standing some 200-300 metres to the west.

I hope someone can help us.

EDIT:
Here are some picture from Google Earth

Red circle is the C-47 and the yellow one is the MiG-27 close to the Mi-4.
