Send me your photographs of your time in Malta.
Feel free to send me photographs of your time at RAF Luqa/Malta, or any other bases, and I'll upload them.
It's a free website and no facility for uploading or adding comments etc yourself but Weebly has added the comments functionality in October 2009. So, if you want your name, maybe dates at Luqa, a comment on each photo, I can do this now and the comment will be seen when the photograph is selected. This will also enlarge the photo for viewing.
See other galleries for Squadrons, Aircraft, Sports and Clubs.
Sending photographs to me implies permission to pubish on the RAF Luqa Remembered website.
Due to lack of capacity with the free weebly site I have upgraded to Weebly Pro. This does cost a small amount per month but without it I would not be able to display all of the photographs being sent to me. So - send away, I've lots more MB's now :-)
If you love old photographs of Malta through the ages you should look at the Bay Retro Face Book page at https://www.facebook.com/bayretro/photos_stream They are always looking for new 'old' photos to publish, take a look and enjoy.
Below I have posted photographs from my visit September/October 2012. This included the airshow held at Luqa, although they now call it Malta International Airport.
The photograph at the head of this page was used in the Airshow programme magazine along with a page of words about my time in Malta.
My time was September 1972 to January 1974 when I was returned to the U.K. on promotion to Corporal.
This photograph, origin of which is unknown, houses the Air Traffic Tower, Operations and Terminal Communications Centre where I worked.
I would come out of the door, to the left of the bicycle racks, to watch the aircraft landing and taking off.
"THEY SHALL GROW NOT OLD AS WE THAT ARE LEFT GROW OLD
AGE SHALL NOT WEARY THEM, NOR THE YEARS CONDEMN
AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN, AND IN THE MORNING
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM"
Two videos sent to me by my friend Rose Hoban showing the Saluting Battery at Upper Barraka Gardens on 10 November 2018.
Another friend, Mike Gore (RM Commando Retd) is far left standard bearer.
the second video has been shortened as it would not load in it's original size.
