Had a holiday in Malta at the end of May - the highlight was the small but very nicely presented Aviation Museum at Ta Qali - here is a sample of some of the many photos I took...

A.W. Seahawk FGA.2 WV826 painted to represent an FGA.6 of 804 Sqn from the Suez Canal period.

D.H. Vampire T.11 restored in the colours of a No.750 FAA Sqn T.22 aircraft

Fiat G91R/1B

Under Restortation - a D.H. Sea Venom FAW.22 - XG691 - a nice little diorama idea for the Matchbox 1/32 Sea Venom???

Long term restoration, Swordfish HS491 (which never actually operated out of Malta) - there is a fully enclosed cockpit canopy for this aircraft at the rear.
