It is a lovely little museum - I visited on my last trip to Malta a few years ago. The Bus service around the island is excellent, but sadly all the colourfull old 1950s/60s/70/s buses they used to run have long since gone to the scrap yard

Turns out the mystery nose section was from a Hastings (https://www.oldjets.net/malta-aviation-museum.html).  Could only see one , though.  Deffo two Darts seen, don't think I saw any radial engines but that doesn't mean they weren't there.
