Miscellaneous Pakistani Military Aircraft

[nd]

Photo's appear to be NZ5901. I have seen that NZ5901 crashed twice. Once on 19 Apr 1954 in Mauripur Pakistan, when it was returned to the UK and repaired, and then again in Nov or Dec 1956 in the Cameron Highlands of Malaysia, but this time it was destroyed with the loss of life. The mystery to me is that if this is the first crash of NZ5901 it look well BER, in fact it looks totally stuffed.... Is this NZ5901? Could this be an RAF Freighter? The markings look like other photo's I have seen for this period on the Bristols.

Those photos show NZ5901 crashed at Mauripur, Pakistan, in 1954.

NZ5901 was operated by Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF). According to information on www.adf-serials.com, during a flight from United Kingdom to New Zealand, RNZAF Bristol 170 Freighter Mk 31 (serial# NZ5901) crashed at Mauripur, Pakistan, on April 19, 1954. There were no casualities, the crashed aircraft was shipped to United Kingdom for rebuild. On December 10, 1956, NZ5901 crashed into Cameron Highlands, Malaya (now Malaysia). There were 9 people aboard the aircraft and only one of them survived the accident.

Apparently serial# NZ5901 was the first Bristol 170 Freighter Mk 31 for RNZAF.
