Tal-Handaq Nostalgia

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

The Pit, entrance tunnel
After attempts in 2013 and 2017 and again last week (October 2019) I still can’t get full access to The Pit. Nice people running the military bookshop, but won’t allow me to go down as they have lots of artefacts stored there pending refurbishment to make a museum. However at least I got further than last time. The sloping tunnel remains very familiar, although the steps and smooth concrete sidewalks were not there when we opened the place in summer 1965.

Thanks very much for posting that Ivan. Been trying to get in for years too, there was an art exhibition (down the slope) about 5 years ago but missed it. Martin.
