Pity,

Not even anything lurking in scrapyards etc.? Like Afghanistan you would expect thing to have survived. Who knows, perhaps any Halifax remains somewhere…… We can dream can we.

Unfortunately the PAF of the 50s and 60s had a pretty unimpressive record of historical aviation preservation. I am quite sure they scrapped all Tempests, Halifaxes, Furies , Attackers . This was rather surprising as some of the types were operated well into the late 50s. The only ac from that era that survived were lone examples of a Viking , a Tigermoth and an Auster and a few Harvards.

If they had any vintage airframe lying around somewhere it would be in the PAF museum by now.

Fortunately the PAF of today is much more active in this field. An example of thier interest is the procurement of the A-26 Invader whcih was lying derelict at Karachi airport to be restored and put up on display at the PAF Museum.

So any derelicts lying around within the PAF’s area of responsibility, they would be well looked after. But we can always hope that some scrap dealer decided to keep one of the airframes as a souvenir in his backyard 😀
