SLAF to participate in UK air show

Sri Lanka will become the 52nd nation to take part in the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford. An Antonov An-32B military transport aircraft from the Asian island will take part in the air show on July 17 and 18.

The aircraft will make an 11,000 mile round trip to the UK.

“I enjoy nothing more than seeing aircraft appear from countries that have not taken part before,” said Chief Executive, Tim Prince.

“It not only shows that the Air Tattoo is continuing to evolve but also that its reputation for bringing nations together extends across all five continents”.
