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.

Strange exhibit in the excellent collection of the Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) museum at Ratmalana, is this civil Hiller UH-12B helicopter. It is with the collection of the museum since April 1993 at least, however it does not seem to have a military history. Ex CY-AAO.
