[edit] Summary
This "War Trophy" from Indo-Pak war of 1965 is on display at Pakistan Air Force Museum, Karachi.
Text from the Museum:
SURRENDERED AND LANDED AT PASRUR ON 3rd SEPTEMBER, 1965
On 3 September, 1965 two F104s, flown by Flt Lt Hakimullah and Flg Off Abbas Mirza, were scrambled from Sargodha to intercept four Indian Gnats. During the ensuing combat, one Gnat, which had strayed away from its main formation, being unable to combat the F-104s, surrendered and force-landed at an abandoned airfield at Pasrur near Sialkot. Flt Lt Hakimullah circled overhead until the capture of the aircraft and the pilot was assured by Pakistani troops. The pilot of the captured Gnat was Sqn Ldr Brij Pal Singh, who later rose to be an Air Marshal in the IAF(Indian Air Force). This aircraft was then ferried from Pasroor to Sargodha by Flt Lt Saad Hatmi.
