63 was very high. Huzoor eventually decided to donate both planes to an organisation. Afterwards, Huzoor allowed me to return to the Air Force where I served from 1950 to 1965. I retired after the 1965 War. During my time in the Air Force, I was an instructor at the Operational Flying School before taking command of two different fighter squadrons, the No. 5 Squadron which was the second jet fighter squadron of Pakistan and the No. 15 Squadron. In 1952, I first attended the Instrument Rating Examiners (IRE) course at RAF Station Syerston in Nottinghamshire, followed by the Air Gunnery Instructor’s Course (AGIC) and the Central Gunnery FLC at RAF West Raynham, 1953.
