Very Nice,I saw a few more of the Spitfire in formation with the Air Malta aircraft sporting a lovely new livery.
Looks as if you had nice light for the show.

Very nice Paul. I like the new Air Malta livery. Overall, the airshow looks more entertaining than Portrush.

Cheers guys yes a lot better than Portrush even though there was no Red Arrows they cancelled with tech problems, it was nice to have 7 days of sun as well

Nice piccies Paul. What's the story with the BAC 1-11 in the background in your top image in the last post?

Likely used for Fire and evac drills I would suspect.

If you are in to number crunching there is at least one Dash 7, a 146 other hulks dotted about the place withdrawn from use in various states of decay

I'd love to see a BAC 1-11 and a 707, very tempted to try and get a mini holiday to Malta then next year. I take it the airshow happens every year?

They had the first organizing meeting for next year on Tuesday night they might go bi-annual as it getting very difficult to get attendees
