Mig 21 's were from USSR. That Gnat was flown by IAF in '71 war. That and the Dakota were gifted by IAF recently to display in the museam. T 37's were from USA.
Yes, those F-86 are indeed ex PAF.

BAF used it during the war... they later gifted it because they had extra. Heard somewhere BAF had to request and buy it... but who knows for sure
