Assigned to No 7 Helicopter Squadron at Hingurakgoda. The 212 is receiving an overhaul before it returns to the sky. It is former Bell test registration N3189K and was most likely delivered to the Sri Lanka Air Force as CH-565 in 1985. It was reserialled to SUH-4102 around 2010 and again to the current SUH-565 by March 2012. On this left side of the helo, the SLAF titles at the cockpit door are written in local (Sinhalese or Tamil) language. On the right side, the text is in english.
