EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the golden age of aviation, specifically showcasing the de Havilland Dove AP-AGJ at Karachi Airport. The aircraft, with its sleek design and distinctive markings, stands in storage alongside two other iconic planes - Dove G-AJBI and Heron G-AOGO of Morton Air Services. Originally registered as G-AKJR, this particular Dove was exported to Pakistan on April 4th, 1953 for the Burmah Oil Company before being transferred to Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL). After serving its purpose overseas, it made a triumphant return to the United Kingdom under the same registration number on June 1st, 1965 with Morton Air Services. However, despite its rich history and notable contributions to flight and aviation during that era, AP-AGJ's journey came to an end when it was permanently withdrawn from use on August 21st, 1968. Its final resting place would be London Southend Airport where it was eventually scrapped between August 1968 and 1970. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of the remarkable advancements made in aerospace technology throughout history. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of these magnificent flying machines that continue to captivate our imagination even decades after their retirement from active service.
