In spite of its short history the Air Force has its own museum, the Sri Lanka Air Force Museum situated at the SLAF Base, Ratmalana which houses one of the largest collection of military artefacts anywhere in the country, if not for anything else the sheer bulk of its aircraft which occupy a good part of the museum. The Air Force Museum is however a museum with a difference. It is housed in four hangars including the main hangar which contains some vintage aircraft as well as three others containing lighter planes, helicopters, heavy vehicles, electronic equipment, firearms, bombs, uniforms, badges, medals and a variety of other insignia and memorabilia.
