Air Malta leased G-BHOX and G-BHOY from Monarch summer 1980 until the end of August. I remember them sitting on stands 13 and 14 for a few weeks. The one in the photo is on stand 13, so the other was probably just out of shot on the left. I never took a photo but airliners.net have one:-

Which gives me an excuse to post another strange airline, I
think the 2 aircraft referred above to are behind the Geminair - they flew for Air Malta in full colours but lost their tail logo after the lease.
A2-ACA 22/7/80. Arrived with a cargo of uncured animal skins for which they needed an import permit. Which they didn't have. Aircraft impounded by Customs and sat in the hot sun for 2 days. Glad my office was upwind !
