Baba and the mandali left Karachi on the 24th on the 24-seat Imperial Airways Hadrian biplane. It was his ninth foreign journey. Baba's first international air travel proved distressing for Kaka and Chanji who suffered from headaches and vomited during the flight, due to severe turbulence from Bahrain to Basra.
At the time when Meher Baba's plane landed at Gwadar, this area was governed by Muscat on the other side of the Gulf of Oman. This land was purchased by Pakistan in 1958.
