Notify PAF Aircraft Crashes

[Blackpearl]

thr heli was on a routine patrol and it was not in the flight plan to go near the water reservoir....the pilots were put on a holding pattern for sometime adn to wsate time the pilots decided to do something which i am not going to say above the dam.....

the heli was perfectly fine.

so it was a human error.............

 

[Jango]

it was not human error rather it was human stupidity.....i feel sorry to say that for two dead people.....but that was the cause...they thought that they were stuntmen!

A plane crashed in Central Ordinance Depot in Karachi, either on premises or surrounding areas.

The plane crashed on 23 May 1957, thats my guess as the date is written as 23 May 57. This is important someone please tell me which plane crashed, and pilot name or any other information.

This might be a military plane rather than air force, but I'm not sure.


It's really important please ask around if you have any contacts.

I went to this website which has a list of all PAF crashes but this one is not there. >>>> http://www.ejection-history.org.uk/country-by-country/pakistan.htm <<<<

If you want to know why I want to know, well you will find out the reason as soon as you get info on the crash its a remarkable story, whoever gets it to you will prob tell you anyway so please if you have any contacts or if you yourself can go thought crash files, please let me know.

I think it was a hit air ballon or I can be totally wrong

What kind of title it was? God Forbid something that will happen. If you are referring to a past accident, reflect that in the title.

 

[Qasibr]

Indeed, please mention in your title that this is a *historic* plane crash or something.

You should not look for alarmist titles and shock value to mislead people, just to raise the view count or something. Perhaps you made an honest mistake - in that case, please change your title.

T-33 were based at Mauripur (Masroor) in those days!

T-33 were based at Mauripur (Masroor) in those days!

I can't think of any other jet trainer used by the PAF in that period. I know the jet types being used were Attackers and the newly arrived F-86s but I don't think the trainer versions were ever used in the Air Force. I may be wrong.
If the aircraft was a T-33, which seems likely, were there two on board or a solo flight.
Does anyone on the forum have connections with the PAF Records who could shed some light on Lockheed T-33 losses in Pakistan service or have notes of a fatality in the PAF for that date?
