BOAC,
Following on my recent post, let me do some snooping around. It has been so many years and all my colleagues are retired (at 60 -- the old rule) and have gone off to places like Jordan and Bahrain etc. where they are still flying I am told. I don't have their contact numbers/e-mail's but I could do a search.
Let me check with a couple of old PIA pilots still in Pakistan but their information could be dated. CAA probably won't answer me since they will guess I am trying to find out something pertinent to the accident.
Let me give it a shot.
Thanks for your patience!
