Sumangalian, Wing Commander Jayanath De Silva, has been appointed as the Commanding Officer (CO) of the Aeronautical Research and Development Wing at Sri Lanka Air Force Station Katukurunda

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that one of our own, Wing Commander Jayanath De Silva, has been appointed as the Commanding Officer (CO) of the Aeronautical Research and Development Wing at Sri Lanka Air Force Station Katukurunda!

This is no ordinary wing in the Air Force! They are the brilliant minds behind all R&D related to the aeronautical field within the Sri Lanka Air Force. They’re even responsible for the manufacturing of the ‘Lihiniya’ UAV aircraft, the ONLY aircraft made in Sri Lanka!

Wing Commander Jayanath’s appointment is not just a feather in his cap but a monumental achievement for the entire Sumangalian community. His leadership will undoubtedly steer the wing to new heights, adding lustre to our country’s defence capabilities and technological advancements.

We couldn’t be more proud! Please join us in showering Wing Commander Jayanath De Silva with hearty congratulations on his well-deserved appointment. Let’s show our overwhelming support for a fellow Sumangalian making waves at a national level!
