And, PIA was not painted near doors on starboard side in 1960s livery.

This is how it should be:

AP-BLU in retro livery photographed in Dubai on July 22, 2015.

Seems it's without anti-dazzle black paint below flight deck windshields. There's variety of mistakes in 1960s retro livery sported by PIA A320s.

AP-BLU in retro livery also has Pakistan flag painted in wrong direction on starboard side.

And, "PIA" was not painted near doors on starboard side in actual 1960s livery.

Honestly I don't care if the livery is not 100% Accurate
All I have to say is that this messed up 60's livery looks better than the current livery

The National Assembly was informed Wednesday that PIA has recently signed an agreement with ABRIC Leasing Company, Ireland to acquire ATR-72-500 Turboprop on dry lease for a period of eight years.

Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Shaikh Aftab Ahmad told the House during question hour that two aircraft have already been delivered to PIA and remaining three are expected to be delivered soon. He said these aircraft are being operated on different domestic routes.

Obviously the minister does not have up-to-date information about ATR 72-500 deliveries.

Someone should inform him that all five leased ATR 72-500 aircraft have been delivered to PIA.
