DeanoP:
Many thanks for your excellent Valetta shots. I particularly liked "Going Home". By the time I got to Khormaksar all the Valettas had gone. The only one I can remember seeing was the wreckage of VW817 at Firq which burst a tyre in 1959 (an 84 Squadron event I believe).
I did the Transport Command ground school at Thorney Island in June, 1962 and we had two chaps on the course who were destined for Valettas (Pearson and Mitchenson). They must have been about the last two to be headed in that direction?
