- First travel diary for a separate series of videos I will be making that explore air museums. This video looks at the Malta Air Museum which is located at the old RAF airbase of Ta'Qali
Although small, the Malta Air Museum has been thoughtfully put together and includes a good number of aircraft that have direct links to Malta, such as a restored Hawker Hurricane Mk II which ditched off the coast in 1941 and a Supermarine Spitfire Mk IX which spent time based on the island.
Join me for a tour around what this air museum has to offer for aviation enthusiasts and why it should be included as a place to visit

The two cockpit sections were retrieved from a Maltese scrapyard and are from Handley-Page Hastings transports.. They are from WJ325 (Hastings C.4) and WJ328 (Hastings C.2). Also, a number of dismantled aircraft are held in the other side or at the back of the first hangar shown.
Thanks for the information! For some reason I thought they were from Valletta's, but I can see that now!
Those Maltese are to be commended for a fine museum, thanks for sharing!
You're very welcome! It is definitely worth taking a look to see the varied aircraft they have there!
Great video , when back in the UK please consider doing a video at the De Havilland Heritage Centre London Colney St Albans .
Its small and simmler in size to the Malta museum
Never been there before but I have heard of it. Will see if I can get to it one day 😁
Thankyou, looks like I will be volunteering for a couple of days. What an honour
Cool, what will you be doing during volunteering?
@@traveldan1 I'm not quite sure yet. Complete newbie in Malta. But will volunteer to do anything.
@@macswad anything around aircraft sounds more interesting than the average day job!
@@traveldan1 Yes agree, even when on vacation, when it's raining Might be rubbing down the under carriage of a DC-3. Always interesting to learn about WW2 undercarriage.
@@macswad the DC 3 is my favourite aircraft! It was still missing a few pieces when I saw it 😄
