A Herk in a sorry state, this work horse was delivered as a C-130K Hercules C1 to the RAF on 2 November 1967. It was added to 24sq and then to 48sq and later to the combined Hercules fleet of the Lyneham Transport Wing (LTW) at RAF Lyneham. The aircraft was later on modified to C1K with a refueling probe. It was sold to Sri Lanka on 1 August 1999 (with its probe removed) as C-130K with serial CR-881. It was reserialled to SCH-3401 and again researalled to SCH-881 in October 2012. Hopefully the SLAF is able to restore the Herk to flying condition in the near future when budget allows.

Former CFT703 was reserialled to SFT-703 by March 2012. The dual seat FT-7 is operated by 5 squadron and was overhauled in July 2017. It is seen here after a heavy rainshower at the platform of its homebase Katunayake. It was planned for a flight this day, but the sorry weather threw a spanner in the works. Although not flying, it's still a beautiful jet fighter!

A No. 9 Attack Helicopter Squadron Mi-35 in front of its hangar at its homebase Hingurakgoda (also known as Minneriya). The Hind was not airworthy at the moment of the picture, some necessary engine parts were missing to bring the attack helicopter alive. The rest of the gunship was in a splendid condition. This is former SAH-4407. Picture made during a 4Aviation tour to the country and SLAF.

Operated by 3 Maritime Squadron from SLAF base China Bay. The unit is expected two new additions soon, one surplus Royal Australian Air Force Beech 350i and a brand-new Beechcraft -Textron 360ER. This Beech 200 will become a trainer from that moment. During a fine 4Aviation tour, the sole Beech of the SLAF is seen here returning to its parking spot.

The 1TFW is using the K-8 as its advanced jet trainer. The SLAF is currently operating with eight such aircraft, four others were written off through the years. Due to low budgets, none of the SLAF-8s were operational at the moment this picture was taken. This SJT-740 is former serial SJT-1801. During a fine 4Aviation tour, this K-8 was seen with two others on the platform of its homebase China Bay.

Operated by the 1TFW at SLAF base China Bay, this Ce150 is gaining speed during its take-off roll. The SLAF is using both the Chinese built PT-6 and the US built Cessna 150 for its basic training. During a fine 4Aviation tour, we were able to picture the Ce150.

Operated by 3 Maritime Squadron from SLAF base China Bay. The unit is expected two new additions soon, one surplus Royal Australian Air Force Beech 350i and a brand-new Beechcraft -Textron 360ER. This Beech 200 will become a trainer from that moment. During a fine 4Aviation tour, the sole Beech of the SLAF made a demonstration flight for us.
