A group of researchers from the British Aviation Research Group in the United Kingdom recently visited Sri Lanka. The delegation, led by Mr. Paul Ashton, comprised aviation enthusiasts specializing in various domains of aviation research, including the evolution of aviation, aircraft structures and sustainable aviation technologies. During their visit, the delegation was able to tour Air Force establishments. This marks the second occasion that the SLAF has hosted visits from foreign aviation veterans, supporting the tourism industry as well.

Moreover, the SLAF Media Division hosted a workshop for professional photographers titled "Extreme Photography," which took place as a knowledge-sharing session with a distinguished Air-to-Air Photographer from the British Aviation Research Group, Mr. Peter Foster, at the Air Force Headquarters today (10 May 2024). The Director Media of the SLAF, Group Captain Dushan Wijesinghe, delivered the welcome address, while Mr. Peter Foster shared his invaluable experiences in Air-to-Air Photography.

Further, Mr. Shantha Guneratne, Chairman of the National Photographic Art Society of Sri Lanka, conveyed words of gratitude. The workshop was attended by over 50 professional photographers.
