Members of the Sri Lankan army visited the United Kingdom last month to compete in the Armed Forces Parachutes Championship.
The official Sri Lankan army website declared that this was the first time a military team from the “Sri Lanka Army skydiving display team performed on a foreign soil (sic)”.
It went on to state that after the tournament, the Sri Lankan soldiers were “invited to take part in a parachute display during the closing ceremony along with Red Devils, Golden Knights and other professional display teams of the UK”.
