The gallery also contains the Vickers VC.1 Viking airplane used by the founder of Pakistan, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, and a Folland Gnat of the Indian Air Force that came to Pasrur town Indo-Pakistani battle of 1965. The museum was set up in 1990 in two vacant structures in a distant place from the Base. In 1999-2004 from small beginnings, the gallery increased.
