Went on landaway to Malta early '68 or '69 in a 14 Sqn Canberra from RAFG. Luqa was in the process of runway resurfacing so we went to Hal Far but were in the mess at Luqa. On one occasion our transport was held up/diverted because a Varsity was being towed from Luqa to Hal Far so it could depart after some repairs! Certainly the roads were wide enough (and looked like taxiways anyway) but how the tug got it up the hill I don't know.
