Further to Marks response to the Seafire rudder, I was the Diving Officer for RAF Luqa, Malta in 1968 and I had organised a dive off Delimara Point looking for a 500lb bomb which had been seen by one our divers the week before. During the dive I found the rudder in about 70 ft in amongst the rocks not far from the bomb. There was however no more Seafire in the vicinity. The bomb was susequently lifted by the RN divers and detonated out at sea and the Seafire rudder hung on the wall in the diving club for some time, possibly until the RAF left Malta at which point this and the Mosquito prop I found went to other museums..KEVIN.
