    Hi Ervin,

    Welcome to our forum. It really nice to meet you ? Good to see your aviation photos you took in Sri Lanka on flickr..

    Are you referring to B727F ? There is no B737 stored in CMB.

    No, it's a B737 fuselage as instructional airframe what can be seen on Google Earth at coordinates 7.178716° 79.889014°

      It’s an A320 used for training purposes by Sri Lankan Aviation College.

        Thank you SHOCKWAVE, this is already a great help and reduces the amount of candidates. I think the identity of this Airbus fuselage is the 4R-ABC however confirmation is needed of course.

          Hey Haleef, when are we to expect the An-32Bs arrival to CMB?
          Do you know what changes/upgrades they have done to these 3 birds?
          Thanks

            Hi. They'll be landing at VCBI on the 11th June during dusk time. Everything has been reworked and are new. I shall look into the rest of the upgrades and let you know.

                Australia gifts aircraft to Sri Lanka

                The Australian Government has gifted a former Royal Australian Air Force aircraft to Sri Lanka.

                Australian High Commissioner to Sri Lanka Paul Stephens formally handed over a letter from Australian Minister of Home Affairs, Clare O’Neil to President Ranil Wickremesinghe, offering the Beechcraft KA350 aircraft.

                The Beechcraft KA350 King Air is a modern twin-engine turboprop aircraft.

                “This gift will strengthen Sri Lanka’s ability to protect its maritime security. It is a further demonstration of our close collaboration in combatting transnational crime” the High Commissioner said via a Tweet on Friday (12). (NewsWire)​
