The second one part consisted of Flight Lieutenant M. A. Ganapathy and Flying Officer D. Lazarus. because the Gnats dived in, a piece of 2 Sabres pulled out of the assault and put themselves in a clumsy place, simply in entrance of Ganapathy and Lazarus. Ganapathy referred to as out at the R/T the Brevity code ‘Murder-Murder-Murder’. either the pilots opened hearth with 20mm cannon hearth and either the Sabres have been badly broken. The Pakistani pilots Parvaiz Mehdi Qureshi and Khaleel Ahmed ejected over Boyra and parachuted down accurately and have been taken prisoner. The wreckage of the deserted Sabres fell close to the village of Bongaon in India. at the same time Massey pulled up over Ganapathy and Lazarus to latch onto one other Sabre piloted by means of Wing Commander Chaudhury, who, in a skillful dog-fighting stream, broke into Massey’s assault forcing him to take a excessive angle-off burst which ignored his objective. After manoeuvering again into firing place and taking target, Massey permit off one other burst at seven hundred yards and hit him within the port wing. by way of that point, Massey’s starboard cannon had stopped firing, however the Sabre streaked again into Pakistani territory billowing smoke and hearth. Massey, understanding that he used to be good over East Pakistani airspace in his chase, circled and regrouped with the remainder of his formation which then proceeded again to base. Early on it was once proposal that the badly broken Sabre should have crashed quickly after. as soon as the struggle had ended, notwithstanding, reviews proven that Chaudhury, displaying enormous braveness, had controlled to fly his badly broken Sabre again to Tezgaon airfield close to Dhaka. Chaudhury himself claimed to have shot down one of many Gnats, which was once later proved fake as all 4 Gnats landed competently. Pilots of 14 Squadron PAF at both Masroor or Sargodha. L-R: Pilot Officer (later Wing Commander) Badrul Hassan Khan; Flying Officer (later Squadron chief) Sarfraz Ahmed Rafiqui, Squadron chief Gul Ahmed; Flying Officer (later Wing Commander) Hamid ‘Harry’ Anwar (who flew as an alternate pilot at Phoenix, Arizona. ; the RAF as a member of the world-famous ‘Blue Diamonds’ aerobatic crew and the Royal Jordanian Air strength the place he shaped his personal crew ‘The Hashemite Diamonds’); Flight Lieutenant (later Air Marshal) Abdul Azim Daudpota. one other remarkable dogfight related to a Gnat was once over Srinagar airfield on 14 December the place a lone Indian pilot, twenty-eight-year previous Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon of 18 Squadron ‘The Flying Bullets’ held out opposed to six Sabres of 26 Squadron from PAF base Peshawar, scoring hits on of the Sabres within the method, earlier than being shot down. Sekhon was once on readiness responsibility at the moment. once the 1st airplane attacked, Sekhon rolled for take-off as No. 2 in a two-Gnat formation, with Flight Lieutenant Ghumman in lead, simply because the first bombs have been falling at the runway. in basic terms not on time as a result of dirt kicked up via the previous Gnat, Sekhon misplaced no time in singling out the 1st Sabre pair, which used to be re-forming after the bombing run. The Gnat chief, Ghuman, misplaced visible along with his wingman simply after take-off, and remained out of the struggle.
