Some former Peshawar Base Commander decided to scrap it. :frown:

You are missing a few others. In 1959 PAF shot a Canberra which was on a spy mission during peace time on eid day. In April 1965 before the war, PAF made an Ouragan force land nearly intact.

The Navigator of the Canberra was lucky to have escaped alive as it's been documented that there's no ejection seat for the Navigator in IAF Canberra.

Picture below will give you an idea of some stark realities, this is just ONE group of IAF Sikh pilots shot down by PAF and PA, gathered in one POW camp alone,now we all know Sikhs don't represent a majority in the Indian armed forces, so leaves little to imagination how many Hindus , Muslim or Christian pilots of IAF would have been POW....most of them would be in other POW camps. and these don't include those shot down over India and Indian MOD admitted that most air battles took place over India.

Pakistan, Lyalpur camp, 12 April 1972, visit to Indian prisoners of war (POWs).
"Sikh pilots, now POWs, passed their time flying kites. Camp authorities forbade this activity. An "homme de confiance", also a POW, explains the visit of Red Cross delegates, emphasizing that he hopes the ICRC can negotiate on their behalf the return of the kites."

They are most welcome in Pakistan along with their aircraft. Their regular presence in our dining halls gives us immense pleasure. May Allah give us strength to accommodate all of them .AMEEN

I wonder if we would have given Abhinandan had he done some damage to a PAF asset or pilot.
