The First PVC for IAF On 14 Dec, Srinagar airfield was attacked by six Sabres. Fg Offr Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon of No.18 Sqn who was on the runway, took off in his Gnat to engage enemy fighters. He shot down one Sabre & set another on fire before he made the supreme sacrifice.

Pakistan attacked India without provocation on 1st Sep 1965. The Pakistan Air Force notched early success against IAF Vampires in Chamb. @IAF_MCC deployed Gnats to Pathankot, who took on marauding PAF Sabres and busted the myth around them #SabreSlayer https://t.co/RoWltdniDz
