                                      Pakistan International Airlines had been founded in 1951 as a branch of the Pakistani Government
                                      although first services were not flown under that name until 1954.  AP-AAH was the former VT-CPH
                                      which had been operated by Orient Airways.  This image was acquired from a PIA postcard issued in
                                      in 1956.  By that time the fleet had been white-topped.   AP-AAH was lost on a flight from Peshawar
                                      to Chitral in the high Himalayan country when it flew into the mountains near the 9000 ft level over
                                      Lowery Pass.
