AP-AFR in basic colours of PIA
with Lebanese Air Transport (LAT) fuselage titles and tail logo
photographed at Karachi Airport in 1967. Two PIA Lockheed
L-1049C Super Constellations (registrations AP-AFR and AP-AFS)
were to be acquired by LAT but for some reason the Lebanese
airline did not take delivery of these two aircraft. A pair of
Hawker Siddeley HS.121 Trident IE-103 aircraft, one in PIA
livery and the other one in Pakistan Air Force (PAF) markings
(registration AP-AUG), are also seen in this photo |

AP-AWV is seen at Paris-Orly

an act of terrorism when a bomb placed under aircraft's
passenger seat exploded at Islamabad Airport on July 5, 1975.
The explosion ripped a hole in AP-AWV fuselage. Luckily at the
time incident the Boeing 707 was on ground after completing
flight from Karachi and there were no human casualties in this
incident. In 1976, AP-AWV was gifted to Bangladesh where it was
registered as S2-ABQ and served Biman Bangladesh Airlines |
