Air Force Museum opened on Sundays too [January 23 2014]

The Sri Lanka Air Force Museum at Ratmalana will be kept open for public on Sundays from January 26 onwards.

The decision was taken by the Commander of the Air Force Air Marshal Harsha Abeywickrema due to the high demand from the general public.

The SLAF museum was established in 1993 as the Aircraft Preservation and Storage Unit at the Air Force Base Ratmalana with the intention of preserving history of aviation in Sri Lanka and the history of the Sri Lanka Air Force.

In 2009 it was modernised and renamed as the Sri Lanka Air Force Museum. It is the only museum in the country dedicated to aviation and the history of the Sri Lanka Air Force.
