Some oldies from Sri Lanka/Royal Ceylon Air Force

Some oldies from Sri Lanka/Royal Ceylon Air Force

Chipmunk TMK
The chipmunk was the 1st aircraft to enter into the service in 1951 as a basic trainer and phased out in 1985, at present 2 aircraft are in fully airworthy condition. I have flown inverted (briefly) in this one CT-108 See attachment

De Havilland Tiger Moth
The Tiger Moth aircraft was originally built in 1937 at De Havilland aircraft Company in England.
The Tiger Moth aircraft was received from Ceylon Air Academy on 21st Jan 1982 in a poor state of disrepair and deterioration.
The SLAF completed its rebuilding on September 1988 and was successfully flown on 18th September 1988. This is the oldest aircraft on display at the SLAF Museum. See attachment.

Here are a few more interesting pics attached from RCyAF Station Koggala which include a Sunderland and one of a De Havilland Dove at Katunayake.
Can anyone help with identifying the aircraft in the last pic?
