Malta Aviation Museum

TIME : 2016/2/18 22:42:06

This is aircraft-enthusiast heaven, located on the former site of the Royal Air Force station, with stars of the show including a WWII Spitfire Mk IX and a Hawker Hurricane IIa, salvaged in 1995 after 54 years at the bottom of the sea off Malta's southwest coast. Other aircraft on display include a vintage Flying Flea, a De Havilland Vampire T11, a Fiat G91R and a battered old Douglas Dakota DC-3.

There's a CitySightseeing Malta open-top bus tour stop (North Route) outside the museum. Buses 51, 52, and 53 stop here on their routes between Rabat and Valletta.
