RAF China Bay is still being used as the Air Force Academy of the Sri Lanka Air Force. Area is smaller. Clappenburg is outside the Academy and the WRNS quarters now abandoned. Runway was extended slightly and very much in use. Slipways were later used to facilitate boat repairs and remembers of the racetracks leading from Malay cove and Clappenburg could still be made out by a discerning eye.
