Firstly – well done webbie in fixing the posting problems.
If anyone is considering going to the Merlins Over Malta show this September, don’t miss going to the Air Museum as well. Its a great little museum that deserves as much support as it can get.
Attached are a small selection of photos I took last September while there for the last airshow.

The Malta Aviation Museum will definitly be worth visiting in September. The Museum are planning to open their new Air Battle of Malta Hangar and their Hurricane should be complete for this event. If all goes well, the Merlins Over Malta Spitfire and Hurricane will fly over the museum to officially open the new facility.
For details of what is planned in Malta during September visit The Merlins Over Malta September 2005 webpage

Hey, thanks for that TMN.
Fox whisky is my old bus from 10 years ago, when she was based at W. Waltham, and operated by a syndicate. In 1995 myself and my mate Dennis took her to Ecuvillens in Switzerland, all the way on just map and stop-watch, two days- seven legs. That was quite an adventure, with a number of rather hairy incidents.
She had a taxiing accident in August 95, ending up embedded in a stack of fences the day after the W.W airshow. She was taken to ARC at Duxford, and put straight again, but for some odd reason the wings were sold, and the fuselage ended up… well, you can see where. I seem to recall that the Maltesers are planning to fly her again, if more wings can be obtained (obviously!).

TMN -Did you take (and can you post ) any pictures of the Tiger Moth? I have a special reason for asking.

My Maltese holiday has been booked since May last year. Can’t wait to see the Spit and Hurri low over Valetta harbour.
