Wing Commander AKS "Tich" Ahmad shaheed. One of the pioneering transport pilots of PAF.
He was commanding No 6 Squadron based at Lahore when he took off in a Bristol Freighter with 18 souls on board for a bombing training mission at Jamrud range. Destination was to be Peshawar Airfield. Also on board was S/L Shahzada OC Admin Wing Lahore and another officer who were actually booked on another freighter which went via Chaklala but they chose to travel in this one due to shorter leg.
They never reached Peshawar as aircraft crashed near Khewra with everyone on board killed. Freighter involved was Sr no G783. Aircraft had entered a high speed stall, It was first major fatal accident involving any PAF aircraft. May all souls rest in peace. Crash date 26th August 1952
