Royal Visit 1954168 viewsThis film covered the whole of the Queen's 1954 Commonwealth tour in colour. The Malta section is just over 5 mins and includes some great shots of the Mediterranean Fleet escorting Britannia into Malta. The complete film does not seem to be on Youtube in one hit but the Malta shots are HERE - wind forward to 6:40.
Search Youtube for other parts, try Royal Tour 1954 and also The Flight of the White Heron.

Aerial view taken 2000, photo courtesy Keith Poulton451 viewsInto my heart an air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those tin remembered roofs?
What bell, what kids are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain.
Hot dusty classrooms where I went
And cannot come again.

From the archives - 50 years on.551 viewsThe name of the school was changed from RNS TH to SCS TH in 1969 (Service Children's School), though it continued to be administered by the Royal Navy. All other service schools in Malta then came under the remit of the RN, Captain HC Malkin (Headmaster 1966 - 1970) being appointed the first OiC Service Schools, Malta & Naples.

The Pit, entrance tunnel1327 viewsAfter 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.Ivan10/26/19 at 16:27admin: Thanks very much for posting that Ivan.

RNH Mtarfa810 viewsAfter the First World War there was a re-organization of the military medical services on the Islands. The Mtarfa Hospital, commissioned in 1912, was opened on the 29th June 1920, even though it had been in use for some time earlier. During the Second World War, the Mtarfa Hospital and barracks were reorganized as the 90th General Hospital and built up to a maximum of 1200 beds. An underground hospital was excavated under the military hospital. After the war the 90th General was reformed as the David Bruce Military Hospital. This continued to serve the military, complementing Bighi Naval Hospital, until 1970. For the next eight years, the Mtarfa Hospital served the needs of British military and naval personnel until its closure in 1978.Prefect08/04/19 at 08:33admin: The last British hospital outpost was a hospital c...
