Malta 1978

This is my Mum & Dad's 1978 Malta holiday. It's from an old cine film that I found in the loft and I've only just had it restored to a digital format. If you keep watching till the end, there is also a few minutes of one of my school sports days where you'll see about 4 seconds of 6 year old me with my stripey shirt on.

Ah yes! It reminds me of how Malta was in the 70s:
Most of the cars were British, there was construction going on everywhere with many half-completed building sites and rubble strewn all over the place. The old Bedford buses were still plying their trade and drinks and ice creams cost just a few pence.
It was all rather chaotic and very, very charming. I loved it.

Great views of the Malta I fell in love with, sadly the changes over recent years have created many issues.

Looks like they were guests at the old Hotel Excelsior in Floriana. One of Malta's top hotels

Sounds about right. It was a corporate gift to my Dad.

Not much diversity in your school sports day before the elites started destroying our culture 😢
