We at ATP like rickshaws and tongas; but we like flying machines too; and not just those from PIA.
Here is a picture of a Handley-Page biplane of UK’s Imperial Airways which was used as a weekly air service between Karachi and Baghdad in 1932. This particular photo shows this plane at a stopover in Kuwait on its way from Karachi to Baghdad in 1934.
Imperial airways was established in UK on March 31, 1924 and it established its first route between UK and India by an inuagural flight between London and Karachi on March 30th, 1929. By 1933 it was running a weekly service between Karachi and London.
More information on Imperial Airways can be found here. I found this photo at flickr.
