Brilliant site, full of good info. Was in the RAF but regrettably never got to Malta. However, as webmaster of 202 Squadron Association I am happy to be connected with a Squadron that served there.

Hello there, I found this site 'by accident'. My late Grandfather, William Lawrence Morgan (previously 2nd Worcesters 1925-31)settled in Malta & married a local girl, Carmella Frendo. He served as a Warrant Officer II in 'B' Company, 1st KOMR during the siege. Despite the grave situation & his own thoughts, he convinced his family that victory would come. My Mother, Kathleen was only 7 years old when the siege began & it left an indelible mark on her life. She told me how hungry she was, the terrifying scream of the Stukas, dead horses in the road. Then the joy of seeing the Spitfires, the 'blessed' OHIO, & waiting in line to look at the George Cross. I thank God that she & my loved ones survived. My Great Uncle, Francesco Frendo also served as a Sergeant with the KOMR. Thank you for remembering the many unsung heroes of Malta who faced everything & would not give way. Your site reflects great credit on you.

What a great site. My family was living in Malta during WWII and before. It is my understanding the the home of my great-great grandmother, Clotilde Mifsud, was destroyed, as so many were, during the bombings. My grandfather was a commander in the Royal Navy and stationed in the Mediterranean area. He and my grandmother met and were married in about 1937 in Malta. Thank you for all your hard work!

Hi - what a great find this site is. I am the grandson of Anthony Tabone who worked for Redifussion as a radio technician during the war, and since his passing, I have become even more interseted in what he and the people went through during this time. While this was a kind of local broad-casting service, he performed his work on the Ohio after she limped back into port after being hit and spent months away from his new bride to do other technical work for the military. There is so much information here that will keep me busy for a long time. As a keen military modeller, I would like to build the 3 Gladiators Faith, Hope and Charity as my grandfather often spoke of these aircraft. If you have any info on Redifussion then please let me know - best regards Michael.

Dear Sir

Very interested in your excellent site. I am currently in the process of organising a battle-field tour to the Islands, focussing on the the RAFs contribution to operations on Malta, between 1939-44. Do you have any contacts with persons able to act as an SME or POC. Our Tour aims to include visits to appropriate museums, historic locations (perhaps a look around the remaining ex RAF blgs at Luqa etc), proffessional analysis of the air ops conducted; for example Kieth Parks impact on the air defence of Malta as well as air ops in the context of the strategic dimension (Pedestal, Axis re-supply, Battlaxe, Husky etc) and of course a visit to the Commonwealth Air Forces Memorial, so we may pay our respects to our fallen comrades. We would love to get any firsthand accounts from people involved in air ops at the time, if there are any remaining veterans (either UK mil, Maltese auxileries). Do hope you can help.

Regards

My father Peter Coulson who was from Manchester served on Malta during WW2 in the Royal Artillery. I have recently come across a diary he kept for part of the time he served there in the war and now realise how hard life was for both civilians and miltary personnel during this period. Unfortunately he died several years ago so have not been able to discuss this period with him but this site has also enabled me to get some insight into this.
