Between June 1940 and December 1942 Malta became one of the most bombed places on Earth.
The battle for this tiny island proved to be one of the most decisive turning points of World War II.[/CENTER]

The story of the epic finale of the Merlins Over Malta project, which saw HAC’s Spitfire and Hurricane fly to Malta to commemorate Malta’s role in the war, is told today in Hangar 4 by the last Spitfire and Hurricane pilots to fly from Malta.
