There were memorable scenes as the Sri Lankan Airlines Airbus A330 taxied from Melbourne Airport with the flags Royal and S.Thomas Colleges proudly flown from the cockpit. Highlighting one of the worlds oldest school cricketing encounters, loyal old Royalists and Thomians embarked on a historic and memorable journey in the skies to experience the magic of the Royal -Thomian Cricket encounter in Colombo. The 3 Pilots for this flight were old royalists, adding colour to this memorable journey!
