Sri Lanka Air Force Emblem

The Sri Lanka Air Force emblem, a symbol of pride and accomplishment for every member of the Air Force, is based on the Royal Air Force emblem hinting at our RAF roots. The emblem consists of a blue circle bearing the words ‘ ශ්‍රී ලංකා ගුවන් හමුදාව’ surrounded by sheaves of paddy on which is a superimposed eagle, wings outspread, head turned to the ‘Sinister’ (left) according to ancient heraldic custom. The blue hand is crowned by the republic emblem and rests upon a blue banner bearing the Air Force motto ‘සුරකිමු ළකඹර’
