Malta Aviation Museum

[harvard1041]

Hello

Just spent a few days working in Malta, but got a few hours to go visit the great Malta Aviation Museum, www.maltaviationmuseum.com/ and a few photos attached. Located at the old RAF Ta' Qali airfield and a great Museum in my opinion. I like a Museum where you can talk to people, look, touch and get back to storage areas rather than a series of 'perfect' displays.

Kiwis connection of course with Sir Keith Park being the AOC Malta at a critical time during the war.
