The helicopter was damaged in battle (occurence date based on date of last flight). It was then withdrawn from use, re-registered and was also used in some airshows as a static display item a few times in the following years. Finally the helicopter was fixed onto a monument near the Defence Headquarters Complex (DHQC) in Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte where the old battle damage to the helicopter can still be slightly seen.
Date needs to be confirmed.
