Malta Aviation Museum

A short holiday to Malta created a opportunity to visit the Malta Aviation Museum

The Malta Aviation Museum Foundation was set up on the 1st November 1994 joining together various associations with the sole aim and objective to create a display of unique exhibits related to Malta's rich aviation history.
Since its inception, the Foundation has worked very hard to acquire, restore and preserve a number of aircraft, artefacts and documentation which are of cultural, historical and educational value.
The Museum is established in two romney hangars in the former RAF Ta'Qali Aerodrome.

The second phase will consist of the erection of a main hangar, a smaller hangar and the construction of an administration building.

As soon as the required funds for this project are obtained, the Malta Aviation Museum Foundation will be able to erect this fitting Memorial to remind all visitors of Malta's important role during the crucial years of 1940-43.

The Aviation Museum is about to lodge a formal request to Heritage Malta for the museum to be given the Sea Gladiator N5520 'Faith' and other aircraft parts that are currently displayed at the War Museum at Fort St Elmo in Valletta.
