Battle scar264 views"Sergeant Gordon Tweedale of 185 Squadron [was] shot down and killed in his first sortie in a Spitfire. Tweedale’s Spitfire ... crashed in Lija ... .

Royal Opera House263 viewsThose of us who went to school in Malta will remember the ruins of the Opera House hit by a land mine in WW2. However, as you can see from this postcard a great deal of the building remained until he early 1950s. It appears in the Malta Story filmed in 1952 and I believe the main demolition was done in 1954 but I cannot confirm this,derrick calver

A film for April Fools255 viewsBlack Eagle - possibly the lamest film made in Malta (or anywhere), despite Van Damme's and Kosugi's best (or worst) efforts. Not made as a comedy but laughable in every way, redeemed only by the scenery (but of course no extras available from TH to save the day), 1988.
