Nostalgia: The London-Sharja-Karachi Run

The National has a nice piece on "When London to Karachi was a Weeklong Trip." Sharja in those days was the most prominent of the "Trucial States" that now form the UAE because it was where Imperial Airways stopped over on its way to India from London. London to Karachi took nearly a week with many overnight stops. That's a Handley-Page 42 from the 1930s, a passenger-carrying biplane.
