I think the only Douglas C-47/DC-3 preserved in Pakistan is Orient Airways Douglas DC-3 registration AP-AAF used as a cafe at Shangrila Resort.

Hi,

^ "Pakistan International" titles in Bangla script to represent East Pakistan (now Bangladesh).

"Pakistan International' titles in Urdu script on aircraft port side.

"Pakistan International" titles in Bangla script on aircraft starboard side.
