A Chipmunk in the woods! The excellent Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) Museum in Ratmalana has an interesting collection of aircraft, amongst it are several Chipmunks. Out of a dozen operated by the SLAF, six can still be found with the collection. One of these is CT-110, seen here behind the main hangar of the museum on poles.

The Mi-24 was delivered to Sri Lanka in considerable numbers. The gunships were intensively used in the internal conflict on the island nation which ended in 2009. As a dedicated memory, this example has been preserved with the excellent Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) museum in Ratmalana. This particular example was delivered to Sri Lanka from Ukraine in 1995-1997.

The FT-5 is the Chinese-built two seater version of the J-5/F-5, itself a copy of the Soviet MiG-17. Sri Lanka received two of these aircraft, both survive and have been put on display. One is at Vavuniya air base and this SFT-1302 (ex CTF-702) in the excellent Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) museum in Ratmalana.

Three HS748s once operated by the Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) still exist today at various places around this island nation. CR-831 is devoid of most of its markings, but is nonetheless in good shape when found in the excellent SLAF museum at Ratmalana.
