March 30, 1924 is an unforgettable event in aviation history for Karachi.

Imperial Airways Limited, formed on 31 March 1924 by the merger of British Marine Air Navigation Company Limited, Daimler Air Way, Handley Page Transport Limited and Instone Air Line Limited, started the London to Karachi air service on 30 March 1929. What did It took just 7 days and included a flight from London to Basel, a train to Genoa and a short S.8 to Alexandria, flying boats to Calcutta, a train to Cairo and finally a DH.66 flight to Karachi. .

Islamabad, Pakistan, during the summer of 1973.

In 1986, the Karakoram Highway from Pakistan to China was opened for traffic.
In the fall of the same year I was fortunate enough to travel on a bus on this difficult 3-day road that started in Gilgit and ended in Kashgar in Xinjiang.
This photo was taken at the high pass on the border by Kai Cyranen.

Karachi was the jewel of Asia a century ago. All the British army officers used to live in the army barracks and the wealthy Parsi's and Goan Christy X-Tians used to run the city along with the sizeable Sindhi Hindu merchant community. It was the cleanest city in south Asia. Karachi went to hell after partition. The aftermath of uncontrolled migration.
