Cheers for those shots mate, they've done a good job with the museum

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

Meant to add that between the main hangar and the Sea Hawk/Sea Vampire building there was a pile of scrap that included what I think was a pair of RR Darts (still in their cowlings), bits of unrecognisable fuselage and a nose section inc windscreen frame that I couldn't recognise.  No pics of that, I'm afraid.

You know that was a Bad Idea because, on this site, there's bound to be someone who could identify each & every part.

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.

I remeber going in 1996 and that vampire T22 was just a plywood pod, so they do some sterling restoration work. I seem to recall it and the seahwak were salvaged from the dump at Hal Far.
