A rare original 1951 Secret Pakistan Air Force Telegram OPS IMM Mauripur RPAF

1951016947Mauripur: Royal Pakistan Air Force 1951. Soft cover. Fair. This is a rare original message form sent within the Royal Pakistan Air Force from the staging post at Mauripur in July 1951 with original envelope. The envelope: This has been opened hastily with paper label covering to the front on which is written "Secret" and "Ops Imm" believed to be Operations Immediate meaning it required immediate action and sent to HQ of the RPAF at Mauripur with a handwritten note of who it was opened by on 5th July 1951. The message: This has been written down on an old Air Force India form dated 1944 but the message is from 1951. It was sent from Air HQ Comm Sqdn Mauripur to Air HQ Stats Karachi and repeated to C.T.O. S.H.Q. Mauripur Chief Technical Officer and Station Head Quarters. The message appears coded or at least in military parlance and not meant to read by anyone else. The message text reads: "AS/85 /5 JULY /SECRET / O / COMM SQDN / B VIK / B1 ONE / C ONE / O / B DAK / B1 THREE / C THREE / N 2/0540 /Q 5/0245 / O / B DOVE / B1 TWO / C TWO / N 3/0725 /NI 1/0100 / Q 3/0040/ O /PART II / O / B P / B FOUR / A N / B FIVE /A S / B FIVE". Quite what it means is unknown but there is reference to aircraft "VIK" / "DOVE" / "DAK": Vickers Viking de Havilland Dove and Dakota and was written at a time of tension between Pakistan and India with troops of both armies massing on the border and Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan making his "clenched fist" speech in the same month a gesture symbolizing a resolute defiance against threats to Pakistan's sovereignty specifically regarding tensions with India and the Kashmir dispute. This was sent from "Air H.Q. Comm Sqdn" which was the elite unit responsible for the Prime Minister's personal safety and transport and reporting what planes were ready to evacuate or transport VIPs if need be. Condition: The message itself is in good condition for age with slight loss along the top edge. The envelope is tatty as to be expected with loss to the rear and creasing / tearing to all edges. However this remains an unsual item something that normally would have been filed or destroyed. Royal Pakistan Air Force paperback

Collection of Photographs of 1960s Lahore Taken by an American Family with Extensive Captions Detailing Their Thoughts on the Locals

1965List3236Lahore Pakistan 1965. Ninety-four photographs measuring 5 x 3 Â½ inches to 2 x 2 inches. Many with manuscript captions verso and some marked recto. Overall excellent to Near Fine. Photos taken by Denverite Lyman R. Flook Jr. and his family with many captioned by his wife Dorothy documenting their time living in Lahore from 1960 to 1965. Lyman Flook 1921â€“1993 worked at the engineering firm of Tipton & Kalmach which in 1960 won a contract to design and construct a link canal system in Pakistan. This was likely related to the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty which determined which Indus Basin rivers would supply water to India and which to Pakistan and allowed a ten year transition period in which India would supply some of Pakistanâ€™s water while Pakistan built its canal system. While Lyman Flook worked on the canal Dorothy 1921â€“2020 taught at the Lahore American School. They and the other American families in Lahore with Tipton & Kalmach left in 1965 after the outbreak of the Indo-Pakistani War. The Flooks lived in a large stylish house likely in the upscale WAPDA i.e. Water And Power Development Authority Town neighborhood of Lahore. The shots include many of the other American engineersâ€™ families typically identified by full or at least last name including the Thiel Troxler and Rockwell families. There are Christmas events with Santa and even a childâ€™s birthday party featuring a dancing bear. Most interesting though are those of local people and life in Lahoreâ€”some portraits of the locals are quite competently and compellingly shot. Most of the Pakistani subjects depicted are servants of the American families: chowkidars watchmen ayahs nursemaids dhobis washers sweepers and groundskeepers. They are identified by first name in Dorothy Flookâ€™s extensive captions which also illustrate the relationship between the Americans and their hired labor. For instance she writes: â€œOur New Chowkidar. He was sent over by the Rockwells who wanted to save money doing without one. As soon as it was known they had no chowkidar things started disappearing from their garage. The locals are always trying to create jobs for each other.â€ Of the ayahs she relates: â€œNorma said her ayah asked for overtime pay saying â€˜Mrs Flook her bossâ€™s wife was giving itâ€™ â€” a dead lie. She and Edie told me to be plenty mean so they wonâ€™t be always getting that club for their servants.â€ And in one of the most unfriendly captions she describes their washerman: â€œOur Dhobi Boksh. He used to come every day; now he comes every other day. Dumbest looking character you ever saw but heâ€™s surprisingly faithful.â€ Others are described as â€œalways underfootâ€ â€œdoing nothingâ€ and â€œStealing yet!â€. Of interest to historians of US activities in Pakistan in the 1960s and relationships between Americans and Pakistanis on the ground. unknown
