It was a wonderful sight on a hot Malta day and the crowd cheered as i`ve never heard the like anywhere. God bless Malta and the people who made this day one to be proud of.

Thank you this fantastic film, my father was born & raised in Sliema and was 17 years old and watched the dog fights over the harbour and told me all about the Italian pilots who would drop thier bombs at high altitude and miss targets and head back home, but when the Lufwaffe arrived he said the Stuka pilots would dive so close you could see the pilot clearly from where he watched!!

Fantastic. Malta is a wonderful place,

[stormus65]

thank you so much James. Malta is seemingly forgotten by documentarys on tv, the Battle of Britain was nowhere near as frought or hard fought as what the Maltese went through. Kids wonder why I get tears in my eyes when I am in Malta standing in the Upper Barakka gardens talkin to Veterans....they don't understand and see them as 'old men', but were it not for them, the youngsters would not have thier freedoms they do today.

[stormus65]

Trouble is, kids today think they have it hard if they cannot have a PS3 or XBox 360. Wish they would put kids through what my grandmother went through.I'm 28 years of age, and seein these two aircraft flyin over Grand Harbour still brings tears to my eyes because I understand what they meant to the people who served and survived and also as a memorial to those who diid not. May the Fortress of Malta GC long stand as a reminder of what sacrifices were made by the forces and the Maltese People.

[stormus65]

I have the utmost respect for the men who flew these aircraft in World War 2, all the members of the forces who served on the warships, merchant navy ships and the anti aircraft on Malta, and of course, the Maltese people. My grandmother (who is Maltese) remembers the Hurricanes and Spitfires, the continual bombing and starvation, and of coure, the arrival of Il Konvoy Ta Santa Marija in August 1942. Pity history docs on tv seem to forget Malta's contribution....

he is VERY right about the younger generation not giving a damn. thankfully i was on my roof watching them fly around and they passed right over my house :D
