This was taken in 1931 at the Lido. I can be sure of this because my father was in India between 1930-1934 and he annotated all of these particular photographs. The second one is the Airship Shed at Drigh Road

My Dad worked on aircraft maintenance and I imagine these colleagues did too.

I have lots like these - a good time was had by all! This would be circa 1950 -1954

Thanks to all for your very helpful contributions. My Father was very proud of his Air Force career and particularly of his time in Karachi. I have photographs from two periods while my father was in Karachi. 1930 -31 and around 1950 - 1954. In the first period the photographs are well...

Many thanks to all of you who have helped me track down the memories of my youth. I have other photographs if anyone is interested. This is one of my parents at a party in the Officer's Mess circa 1951. My parents are at the extreme left and right - clearly not with each other!

That's really helpful thank you. I think the number was 19 but I will check with my sister. I have another photo taken about the same time but I am not sure of this building.

Thank you - yes the second picture is the Officers' Mess and the first our house. I was only four at the time so I can't give too many details. However I seem to remember the the house was 19 Drigh Road - does that help?

My father served with the RPAF in Karachi from 1947 - 1953. I have photographs of our house in Drigh Road and the Officers' Mess. Are these buildings still there? I would love to know as I have such vivid memories of life in Karachi. Thank you
