Tal-Handaq Nostalgia

Memories of the Royal Naval School, Malta, 1947 - 1978.

Outside 'A' or 'C' Block 1980 
This picture was taken outside our old flat in the barracks at Tigne. I cannot remember if it was 'A' or 'C' block - it was right next to the slipway to the boathouse! My brother will correct me. Tigne remained much as it was in the sixties in 1980 - prior to any development. The Army buildings were occupied by Chinese Dock workers when this photo was taken, I recall the Maltese put them there as cheap accommodation..

Behind you is Tigne school so we had a very short walk to school. Where the garages are there used to be a high wall and to the right was a door to where the school caretaker had a room; I always remember he had a picture of the USS Forrestal on his wall taken from the box of an Airfix kit of the aircraft carrier. Looking down to the boathouse our block was to the right of a broad set of steps leading down to the boathouse. Between the steps and our block was a area where the washing lines were.
