In reply to Andy, who is writing an article about the R Ceylon AF.
If you join The RAF Forum, you will be able to view some of my many photos that I took in Ceylon,'tween 1958 and 1960, when I was on SASF at RAF Katunayake.The pics. are under the heading of "Chips Rafferty's Photos" and there are a couple of shots of a R Cy AF Jet Provost.I did get a couple of flights, as a passenger, in a Boulton- Paul
Bailiol and the D H Heron,courtesy of the R Cy AF. I also flew from Ratmalana,as a passenger,in a DH Tiger Moth, piloted by R Cy AF airframe mechanic, LAC Lionel Goonatilyke, who had a PPL.Got some pics of Columbo on that occasion.
Good luck with the project
