It also documents the decision of the Government of Pakistan – as the maintainer of the aforesaid stations – to transfer these stations to Iranian control, rather than close them down.

A couple of letters from Sir Nelson King Johnson as Director of the Meteorological Office at the Air Ministry are also present within the file.
