RED DRAGONS - 1951: The first formation aerobatics team, formed by No 9 Squadron on its Furies, was called 'The Red Dragons'. The painting shows the team performing officially for the first time in 1951 at Peshawar. The occasion was the farewell ceremonies for the PAF's outgoing C-in-C, Air Vice-Marshal R L R Atcherely. 'The Red Dragons' thus gained the honour of being the first aerobatic team in the Indo-Pak subcontinent.

The Team:
Squadron Leader Zafar Chaudhry
Flight Lieutenant Saeedullah Khan
Flying Officer T H Gotting
Flying Officer M Hayat Khan

FURIES SCRAMBLE AT MIRANSHAH: In the early 1950s, the Hawker Fury was the frontline fighter of the Pakistan Air Force. Armed with 20 mm cannons and an effective load of bombs and rockets, the Fury was considered ideal for air support of ground forces and was rated very high among the combat aircraft of its class. The painting shows a pair of Furies scrambling from the border airfield of Miranshah in a typical response to an 'XX call" from the Pak Army for air support. The Fury remained in service with the PAF from 1949 to 1960.
