The Royal Ceylon Air Force, the predecessor of the current Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF), operated two Westland-built versions of the Sikorsky S-51, between 1956 and 1972. This immaculately restored example with serial CH-501 is on display in the excellent SLAF museum in Ratmalana and was first reported here in March 1993.
