Indian Navy Rear Admiral Kirpal Singh (wiki) supposedly dead at 95.

 

WWII vet. The last senior Indian military figure to have served?

 

EDIT: No. Vice Admiral S. H. Sarma (wiki, b. 1922) is still about.

Swaraj Parkash (1923-?) likely died around 2004 even though wikipedia has no mention of it.

Pakistan's last one is likely MAK Lodhi

Died 1st December 1971 as per this.

Edit: No, that can't be the case. He held positions into the 1980s. Other Wiki pages linked to his page say he died in 2008. Where are you seeing 2004?

Source was a picture with a text of him I couldn't find again mentioning that he died in 2004.

Can't find any other mentions of his death except wikipedia's 2008

Here is his wife/widow interviewed.

Nazir Ahmed Khan (wiki), Pakistani politician, dead at 97.

 

Did this guy even exist? I can't find any mention of him anywhere. Don't want him to be like Kasra Nikzad or Sheikh Ali Urbuti.

According to wikipedia he was a MNA 1990-1993.

 

There are two people in (This: http://www.na.gov.pk/uploads/former-members/9th National Assembly.pdf) a pdf file by the Pakistan National Assembly site.

 

1. (Rana) Nazeer/Nazir Ahmed Khan (1949-)

2. Ch. Nazeer/Nazir Ahmed/Ahmad Khan (Possibly our guy?) from this name I found one result, an interview from 2019:

This appears to be a hoax. The IP address who made the edit is a serial vandal who refreshes his IP in order to elude bans.

 

Hoffman may be a good DDP pick for a cheeky unique hit. Discovering a chemical element should guarantee a QO… you’d hope so anyway.

Confused about this one. 
 

This tweet seems to be confident he died on 10th August aged 95:

 

 

However, there’s also this, which is an obituary for a Squadron Leader Kirpal Singh Sathi who died 10th August, aged 87. Different people. Kirpal Singh is a big name in Indian military circles. I would have expected a media write up so I reckon this is a mixup.

This video gives a fascinating insight into just how unusual a woman commercial pilot was 50 years ago.

The last time I was on a plane with a female pilot she bounced us down the fucking runway a la Barnes Wallace style.
