The SLAF operated three Hawker Siddeley (later British Aerospace/BAe) HS.748 Srs.2As during the early 1990s, including registrations CR-831, CR-834 and CR-835. Two of these wore this camouflage pattern in mid-stone (BS381C/362) and olive drab (BS381C/298) on top surfaces and sides, and an undetermined light grey on undersurfaces, while the third was painted in black-green on upper surfaces and sides. From 1990–95, all were operated by No.2 – later No. 201 – Transport Wing, SLAF, and were intensively involved in maintaining the air-bridge to Palali AB. Inset is the crest of the Sri Lankan Air Force, which is known to have been applied low beneath the cockpit of CR-835. (Artwork by Tom Cooper)
