From my log book:- There was some mystery over this a/c as it was supposed to have landed at Dubai A/P. Usually access to an aircraft was granted by the pilot or crew but they wouldn't allow me onboard this one........I wondered why? Later learned that it was impounded at Karachi A/P in August of the same year for allegedly being used in a "gun-running" operation! Apparently it lay derelict at the airport for many years until taken on by the Pakistan Air Force Museum to be refurbished and put on display.

VIP fit. Named "Meghaduta II" in English and Hindi underneath cockpit window. Arr.1140. Night stopover leaving at 1030 on the 1st. Used entire runway length to get airborne, no doubt due to all of the solid oak panelling used in the cabin! The RAF left in 1971 when the "Trucial States" became the United Arab Emirates, the airfield becoming the Emirates International Airport until the new one was opened in 1977. King Abdul Aziz Street is built on the old runway. The ATC, a hangar and the old fort used by Imperial Airways are now incorporated in the "Al Mahatta" museum.
