Old PIA Pictures

Post by Amaad Lone »

I just found a book (Encyclopedia of International Aviation) given to me on my 12th birthday (1978) and inside contained some pictures I had pasted as a kid. These pictures were pasted a good 28 years ago, so the quality might not be perfect.

Well enjoy them.

Picture Of PIA DC-10-30 probably landing at Karachi.


Image

DC-10 Stickers given to me in the mid 1970s,

Image

Picture Of PIA DC-3 In Chitral probably 1950s or 60s.
Image

PIA 747 Post Card from the 1970s.


Image

Picture Of PIA 720B AP-AMG
Image

The picture of the DC-3 and 720B came from the book.

A part of PIA history.

That's 'Pakistan International' in Bangla script.

In PIA's 1960s livery, aircraft used on domestic flights like DC-3s and Vickers Viscounts had 'Pakistan International' titles in Urdu script on aircraft's port side and in Bangla script on starboard side.

Example:

Image
Port side of Vickers Viscount 815 (AP-AJF) with 'Pakistan International' in Urdu script.

Image
Starboard side of Vickers Viscount 815 (AP-AJE) with 'Pakistan International' in Bangla script.
