Another fantastic event organised by the Malta Aviation society and assisted by UK based R5 Displays Ltd. Here are some of the highlights taken at the airport, spotters days, and at show centre Qawra over the week I was there... :thumbs: :thumb:

Cracking post Kev :thumb: For me, very fond memories. I can well testify that Malta's always been a great venue for airshows. I visited the island for three consecutive years - 2003, 04 & 05 were brilliant shows. But that was twenty years ago, Malta had joined the EU in 2005, so I dare say that there's been a lot of changes since then.
Thanks for sharing them with us.
