I think we should definitely have it.
What is it?
“…Seriously, it’s really interesting to see an unusual aspect being covered…”
Adrian: Not wishing to detract from photos and possible site map, HERE is another interesting related aspect.
One of the very first awards of the Military Medal to one of only a handful of women in WWII – Avis Hearn – was as a result of the big raid on Poling; 18th August 1940.
Apparently it was 1960 before the London Gazette – where all awards were announced – acknowledged that they had got her name wrong (Avis J. Hearn; later Avis J. Parsons)!
The cottages next to the receiver site in your photo is still there today; walked past there with the dog the other day.
Named “Radar Cottages”, in a nice link with the past.
…but not any others.
That said, I’ve just come across THIS, so at least I know where the masts were now, although some way from the technical site on the A27.
[in the long field at the top: three transmitter towers – originally four – plus four receiver towers]
Would still like to find a site plan though.
This was “progress” to date on the Vickers Vincent when I was last at Wigram, about six monthe ago . . . . .
Confirmation here/last paragraph (as if it were needed!) about who were the real stars of the week’s events, along with the veterans themselves, of course.
Is it me (???) I can’t believe the dearth of information/interest from the Maltese internet based news media up until this story. …I hope the actual newspapers are doing a bit better!
More to the point is there anywhere on the internet showing decent pictures of the arrival in Grand Harbour last Thursday, apart from the Malta Aviation Museum website?
PS: What’s happened to the FlightlineMalta website lately? …It seems send my CPU to 100%, throw my whole laptop wobbly and show about 5% of the site; or is it just me again?!?
As a last resort (and those not in the region)…..
Select website:
Look for this 
(bottom right) and it should be available for viewing after the broadcast.
Dave Homewood…..
On a similar theme, this link turned up on another forum last year, although unfortunately there does not appear to be much further progress to the site since its initial inception.
That said, some interesting clips.
