Any idea on the Airframes currently sitting at the Karachi Airport Boneyard? and are there any recent photos of the boneyard?

According to Dunya News channel, there are more than thirty derelict aircraft at Karachi Airport. Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has written letters to owners/operators of these aircraft for their removal from the airport. These aircraft belong to PIA, privately owned airlines and foreign operators.
The aircraft are security risk and can be used as hiding place by terrorists. The aircraft also occupy precious parking space. These aircraft also have become home to a number of birds that are threat to flight safety.

Some of those planes could be used to create a civil aviation museum

Boeing 747 of Hellenic Imperial Airways, Boeing 747 of Rayyan Air/AHS Air? Airbus A310-300s and Boeing 737-300 of PIA, McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30 freighter of Avient, Airbus A300 freighter of ACT, AIrbus A310-300 of United Airways.
Boeing 737-200s of Shaheen Air. Sometime ago there were reports that Pakistan Customs has blocked sale/scrapping of these aircraft by Shaheen Air due to non-payment of some aircraft import taxes/duties by Shaheen Air.
