SRI LANKA Airforce Museum

I guess these are what you all mean?





Taken May 2010. A nice museum, incidentally, devoid pretty much of the usual US dross. It is entry by invitation only but that was easy!

BRgds,

Great pictures - thank you for sharing them

Fantastic images, thank you Ridge Runner.
Interesting that both Balliols have different to standard wheels, wonder if they were more suitable for local use?

Thanks Pagen01 and Mark V. There are not so many places where you can still see types such as the Balliols, Tiger Moth, Chippies, Doves and Herons, HS748s, Jet Provosts, together with a range of russian/chinese types too! You have the added bonus of having it next to te active ramp and so you an see the AN-32s etc in operation!

For anyone interested and in the area it is really worth a visit.

I would say that CA310 does not have a Balliol u/c, or at least has one which is less than pristine. This is the aircraft which the Shuttleworth Trust thought was 'cobbled together'. Nice paint scheme, though - hides a multitude of sins, no doubt.
