Karachi Airport and RAF Drigh Road
RAF Drigh Road was an airfield south of the road of that name outside Karachi. Early airliners used 'Drigh Road Airport', likely the same location.
But by 1945 there was a separate airfield, 'Karachi Airport', with two runways, to the north of Drigh Road and the railway line: http://www.rafcommands.com/galleries...DrighRoadFront That airport became the current Karachi - Jinnah International (OPKC / KHI), and Drigh Road became PAF Faisal. My question is, when was the northern airfield/airport built? GlobalSecurity.org mentions: Quote:
In other words, which field was used by Tata Airlines, Imperial Airways and KLM in the 1930s? Thanks, Peter |
