Dear writer, Some of the information provided in your video are not correct. I was the 2nd in Command of one of the infantry battalions on ground and i of the first few to reach the place air craft fallen. This has happend in 9th brigade area palali in vasavillan defence line. 1. It was around 3.45pm in the evening. 2.With the SAM missile attack they turned the aircraft and try land back at palali airport, but very short to airport, it fell down in side, 5 field Enginering defence line. I was next to it. 3.Flying very low with fire on the back body of the Air craft. On the fall air craft went in to 3 pices. 4.On search we felt people in flight new that it was a missile attack. They expected the air craft will fell down to sea,they have removed shoes and ready to swim.Wing.Cmd Roger Weerasinghe's fingers were with half burnt cigarette. 5.Its true that some casualties sent to colombo in that air craft ,but mainly Lt.Silva (Intake 38) of Gajaba Regiment and 8 others who got killed in earlier days attack at Kytes island was also among the air craft. 6. If pilots had 5 more seconds, i am sure they will do a crash landing at airport and could have saved some of them. I just wanted to add some i knew and 2 nd Avro story also little different to what you say.i ll take another date to correct it.Thanks.

Thank you for the insights sir. Since first hand accounts were rare to be found we made this video by referring to number of sources including interviews of some Air Force members. We tried our best to narrate the story with accurate facts to the best of our knowledge.
