I think Glory might just be at Marsaxlokk.

I think she might just not be - even for 1950, there seems to be too much vegetation around, and the harbour looks larger and the headlands in the photo look far higher than those I recall.

To be fair to the Marsaxlokk supporters, I note that GLORY did visit Malta several times between Dec 49 and Jul 50 but ... to be fair to me, I note that most of the headland on the north side of the entrance is less than 100 feet high!

GLORY sadly ended her days afloat swinging around a buoy off Blackness in the Firth of Forth - with her flight deck covered in a fine crop of long grass ....
