Old Hawker 748

About Old Hawker 748

Parked within reach of Unawatuna on Sri Lanka's South Coast, Old Hawker 748 is an aircraft attraction that draws curious visitors keen to explore a retired passenger plane up close. The fuselage and characteristic form of the twin-turboprop Hawker Siddeley 748 serve as the main draw, offering an unusual contrast to the beaches and colonial history that typically define this stretch of coastline. Visitors generally walk around the exterior, photograph the aircraft from various angles, and in some cases step inside to inspect the cabin. It represents the sort of quirky, off-the-beaten-track stop that appeals to aviation enthusiasts and those simply looking for something different alongside the more conventional sights near Unawatuna.
